Pickette House isn't just renovated, it's been completely reimagined. What began as a classic inner-city cottage now reflects the creative, industrial edge of its Islington surrounds, transformed into a bold, light-filled four-bedroom home with real architectural intent and a strong sense of personality.
Step inside and space and light immediately take the lead. Expansive living zones framed by clean lines, black steel accents, and textured finishes that echo the area's past. At the centre, a striking island kitchen anchors the home, where AEG appliances, an induction cooktop, and a walk-in pantry make everyday living and entertaining feel effortless. A retractable roof and carefully placed glazing pull the sky inside, shifting the mood from morning calm to evening warmth as the day unfolds. Flexibility is built in. A large room with its own entry works beautifully as a private office, studio, or fourth bedroom. Upstairs, the parents' retreat feels like a private reset button, delivering generous storage and a beautifully finished ensuite with underfloor heating.
Practicality hasn't been sacrificed for design. R3 zoning opens future possibilities, while a double carport solves the inner-city parking puzzle with ease. Rear lane access, solar panels, solar hot water, ducted and split system a/c, and a cosy winter fire ensure the home performs as well as it presents.
Islington Park and the Throsby Creek cycleway sit just around the corner, offering an easy ride into Honeysuckle, the harbour, or all the way to Nobbys. Beaumont Street is a short stroll for coffee, dinner, or a late drink, while schools, transport, and beaches are all within easy reach.
