Cottage charm with a Mediterranean spirit

A romantic Mediterranean spirit brings warmth and soul to this freestanding double-fronted cottage on one of Erskineville's most desirable streets. Framed by a lush front garden and magnificent century-old magnolia, the picturesque facade makes a welcoming first impression, but it's the tastefully curated interiors and sunny north-east courtyard that make the home such a joy to live in. Bathed in sunshine and perfect for entertaining, the walled courtyard evokes the intimacy of a Mediterranean hideaway, with ficus-clad walls creating an enchanting outdoor green room. A versatile studio retreat with its own bathroom is privately positioned at the rear, ideal for guests or working from home. Dark hardwood floors and crisp white walls bring a simple, timeless quality to the interiors, with three bedrooms including a lofty upper-level bedroom with a study. Part of a friendly, community-minded neighbourhood on the city fringe, the 9m-fronted home is just 500m to the lush open expanse of Sydney Park and St Peters station for a 10-minute commute to the city. Soak up the dreamy ambiance in the backyard escape or stroll up to the pulse and energy of South King Street's with its cafes, restaurants, pubs and offbeat boutiques.
