Overview

Depth, Detail And Distinction

An exquisite expression of Art Deco design, this beautifully renovated two bedroom residence with a separate home office pairs sublime interiors with a rare depth of land on 439sqm (approx.), creating a home that feels both complete and quietly impressive. Original character has been carefully retained and elevated, with decorative ceilings, leadlight windows and hardwood floors bringing texture and warmth. Two generous bedrooms with high quality custom built-in robes and superb finishes sit at the front, while a substantial lounge centred around an original fireplace mantle with modern gas insert provides a living space that feels both inviting and composed. To the rear, the home opens into a contemporary kitchen and dining domain, where stone benchtops and Miele appliances, including an induction cooktop and integrated dishwasher, are matched by a seamless connection to outdoors. A large deck leads to a deep, sunlit backyard with valuable northern and eastern light, offering a setting that moves easily between everyday living and entertaining. Privately positioned at the rear, an independently accessed home office with its own split system adds flexibility, ideal for working from home or creative use. The refined bathroom is finished in terrazzo with underfloor heating, a frameless shower and heated towel rail, while an additional workspace or retreat with storage is provided by a converted attic space. Heating and cooling are managed by the gas fireplace, split systems and panel heaters throughout. There is a separate laundry with excellent storage, while double gates lead to off street parking with space for two cars. Positioned between Hedgeley Dene Gardens and Gardiners Creek Trail, and moments from Darling Railway Station and Waverley Road, the location balances openness with accessibility. Further enhancing the opportunity, council-approved plans and permits are in place to subdivide and construct an independent three bedroom townhouse at the rear with its own access, adding a future layer to an already compelling offering.
