69 Tweedmouth Avenue, Rosebery

An imaginative architect redesign pays homage to the original fabric of this classic double-fronted bungalow while creating a contemporary haven that celebrates family life and year-round alfresco entertaining. In a tightly held pocket of Rosebery, the heart of the original garden estate, the 518sqm approx property links the old with the new with via a huge living pavilion that opens out to the gardens with a covered terrace and sparkling heated pool for a splash of resort-style luxury. Spread over one level, this is a home designed to accommodate changing needs and cater to intergenerational living with a private one-bedroom apartment at the rear that can double as a cabana and a 30sqm rumpus room that's ideal as a home office, gym or artist's studio. Part of a peaceful neighbourhood, the wide-tree lined avenue is in a perfect spot for families of all ages, 750m across Turruwul Park to The Cannery where you'll find Archie Rose, Three Blue Ducks, Black Star Pastry and Wholefood House.
