Home Description

Description of the home

Originally one of Newtown's grandest homes, this residence has been thoughtfully extended to provide modern living at its best. The glass pavilion features a massive informal living-dining zone and an open-plan Caesarstone/stainless steel gas kitchen, complete with a butler's pantry and abundant storage. The space flows effortlessly to a side deck with a built-in barbecue, perfect for hosting gatherings with family and friends.
This hidden gem is set privately at the end of a secure gated driveway, providing peace and quiet in a bustling suburb. The generous floor plan offers a flexible layout, including a separate apartment for guests or teenagers. In the original sandstone section, the entrance hall leads to a formal living room, two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, and a beautifully appointed Italian-tiled bathroom. Upstairs, the whole-floor main bedroom suite boasts an enormous bedroom with a dressing zone, built-in wardrobes, and a large bathroom with a deep bath and twin rain showers.
Original features such as exposed sandstone walls, wide Turpentine floorboards, leadlight windows, and high ornate ceilings add to the charm and character of this unique property. The glass-walled casual living space provides a bold contrast between old and new with contemporary finishes, including polished concrete floors, built-in sound speakers, and a Jetmaster gas fireplace.
On the upper level of the new section, you'll find a mezzanine home office and a fourth double bedroom that could be used as a library, games room or rumpus room. In the basement, there's a large laundry/utility room with generous storage and a chic powder room.

Additional features include custom-crafted cabinetry, ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning, designer lighting, security gates, alfresco sitting and dining areas, and off-street parking. Don't miss your chance to call this magnificent property your home.

About occupants
I would like to organise a shared house in a fantastic place for people wanting to live in a great environment. It’s not so much about saving money but more to get something really nice for less than what you’d get living alone in Sydney where rent for a one bedroom is ridiculously expensive. Ideally a queer environment, straight people welcome.
