Description: Serene placement within a five minute walk to the Canterbury Metro Station, with park outlooks is just the opening chapter in the story of this incredible home, set on a dual-fronted block of 346 sqm, with rear lane access. Planned to perfection, it preserves original character details of the c1918 full-brick cottage, while utilising its large front bedroom, period-style bathroom and cosy central living room in the current, expanded rendition by BTB Architects. This all electric renewed home is a rare example of bespoke design that is imbued with eco-friendly thinking and stylistically influenced by the surrounding environment, where the wooded riverside landscape is referenced in the selection of timber and stone materials. Immersed in natural light, while almost totally attuned to principles of passive cooling, this home promises succinct comfort, outstanding indoor/outdoor living, plus the versatility to offer one or two attractive work-from-home spaces, both over looking the garden. You must inspect to fully appreciate the layers of thinking that make this a lifestyle move unlike any other on the market right now, in a well-kept secret of a location, where you have quick access to Canterbury's walkable amenity and up-coming Metro service opening in 2026, while at the gateway to the Inner West's cultural, dining and entertainment options. - Sublime light-filled ambience, superb visual form with raked ceiling up to 5.9m - Central living room with original ornate fireplace is a cosy retreat to enjoy a quiet movie - Clever integration of storage in the living zone, dining booth, large laundry and kitchen island - Fully electric home with solar system, energy efficient heat pump water heater, Bosch induction stovetop, 90 cm oven and built in Bosch dishwasher - Ducted air conditioning throughout and ceiling fans - Seamless outdoor transition to large limestone alfresco area with retractable 'Wave Shade' - Floorplan offers three bedrooms plus a garden-view study ideal for online meetings - Sensational parents' retreat upstairs with king-sized bed, large bathtub and Juliette balcony - Garage with window temporarily converted into a creative studio (can also be used as a car garage) with air conditioning and side-path gate pedestrian entry from laneway - Adjacent to St Mary Mackillop Reserve with children's playground & Cooks River cycle path that connects to the Greenway and into the Sydney CBD - Minutes from Petersham, Summer Hill, Marrickville, Earlwood and Campsie dining, 10kms from the CBD
