Making a lasting first impression with its picture-perfect facade and impressive double frontage, this freestanding artisan cottage has undergone a sympathetic architect-designed transformation that pays homage to the original c1890 build while marking a new style chapter for the Victorian beauty. A bold barn-like extension links the old with the new and serves as the social heart of the home with a re-strained palette and honest expression of materials evoking a sense of calm and integrating seamlessly with the lush expanse of the private north-facing garden beyond. A pitched roof with exposed timber rafters brings an incredible sense of volume while polished concrete floors and reclaimed brickwork lend a robust quality to the pavilion-style extension with modular joinery for flexibility of space. Featur-ing an upper level devoted to a private parents' retreat, every room of the four-bedroom home enjoys a tranquil leafy outlook creating an urban oasis in a prime location on the cusp of Newtown and just 500m to Enmore Park. In the catchment for Newtown High School of Performing Arts, this is a home that echoes the eclectic charm and artistic vibe of its city fringe location just 600m to Enmore Road's celebrated dining and social scene.
