There's something undeniably special about a character Villa especially one that's been been reimagined with respect, restraint, and a soft industrial edge. Set across a generous 697m2 (approx) allotment, 47 Day Terrace takes the grace of the circa 1915 origins and dials them up with a cedar extension and contemporary vision. All wrapped in a lifestyle pocket moments from the Queen Street cafés, Croydon train park and the train station.
Behind its pretty-as-a-picture façade, the original four-room footprint showcases everything we love about period homes. Soaring square set ceilings, a graceful archway, wide central hallway, original leadlight windows, polished timber floors, and open fireplaces set a tone that's instantly inviting, while the versatile layout ensures you can reconfigure again and again.
Then comes the shift at the rear of the home - a light-filled kitchen and dining area that elevates both eras. A farmhouse sink, Ilve freestanding gas cooker, slimline shaker cabinetry, and Fisher & Paykel brushed black double fridge anchor the space. Salvaged 1970s steel windows and vintage doors together with clerestory windows above introduce a refined industrial note and draw the natural light and the outdoors in seamlessly.
A one-of-a-kind cedar extension emerges as the final florish, louvre-windowed galley unfolding to luxe bathroom. A freestanding clawfoot tub stands ready for self-care soaks, while a frameless shower, Art Deco mirror, and vintage-style console create a curated sanctuary that is both bold and calming.
French doors swing open to a skillion-roofed deck for easy indoor-outdoor flow, perched overlooking an expansive rear garden that winds established lawns through raised garden beds, fruit trees, a near-new garden shed, chook pen, and larger shed/verandah reminiscent of old stables. Morning coffee with the birdsong, weekend projects, farm-to-table harvests, barefoot celebrations with family and friends every moment finds its place alfresco.
Everything that defines West Croydon is yours on foot, whether it's morning coffee at Queen Street Café, Willow Bend, or Crave, or long lunches at Billy's Table. Welland, Ridleyton and West Lakes shopping centres all make the grocery run simple, Kilkenny Primary and Woodville High keep school days streamlined, while the CBD is a quick drive, cycle, or train trip away.
History, contemporary calibre and lifestyle - harmonised to perfection. Get set for the good life.
