Property details

Historic charm meets high-end design

A true Australian classic, this rare surviving 1880s weatherboard cottage has been masterfully reimagined by Gelder Group Architects in a remarkable revival that honours its historic charm while delivering a brand-new home for contemporary living. Rebuilt from the ground up with an unwavering commitment to quality and authenticity, the cottage retains its quintessential facade while unveiling a spacious, split-level layout designed for modern life. Thoughtful spatial planning reveals a choice of living areas and four bedrooms, including a self-contained studio above a standalone lock-up garage that's perfect for guests, work or as an income earner. Super White marble and Oak take centre stage inside, forming the backbone of a refined interior palette that speaks to understated luxury. A landscaped backyard with a built-in barbecue invites alfresco entertaining, while ducted air and underfloor heating in the bathrooms add a layer of everyday comfort. On one of Erskineville's best streets, just 100m to South King Street's dining scene and 500m to Sydney Park, this is a timeless home with a thoroughly modern soul.
