What's around 21 Essex Street

Unique Edwardian Gem

Some homes simply feel right from the moment you step inside. This Edwardian cottage offers a strong sense of space and character, with high ceilings, original Baltic pine floors, and a central fireplace forming the backbone of the home. Additional features include an updated bathroom, Bosch oven, outdoor entertainment area, and landscaped garden. Northern light fills the living room throughout the day, creating a warm and comfortable main living area. The layout is practical and well-balanced, with rooms that connect easily and spaces that feel intuitive to live in. Period details remain a defining feature, supported by the level of comfort expected for everyday living. There’s a simplicity to life here. Daily routines feel easy, and the Inner-West lifestyle is close at hand without dominating the experience of home. Trains to the city are only an 8-minute walk away, and cafés, such as the popular West 48, are just minutes from the doorstep, along with reserves and off-lead dog parks. Vibrant Barkly Village is a 10-minute stroll away, offering excellent dining, shopping, and general amenity. Meanwhile, the home itself remains a place to unwind and reset. This is a home that will appeal to buyers who value character, proportion and a sense of permanence. A well-resolved Edwardian offering comfort, authenticity and a lifestyle that feels established rather than transient. Move straight in and enjoy the warmth and character of this welcoming period home, or secure a smart set-and-forget investment with strong rental appeal, estimated to return approximately $525-$550 per week, with flexibility for short-stay accommodation such as Airbnb (STCA), and long-term capital growth potential. It's time to move

Smart, hardworking & gracious agent with integrity and great communication

Michael was outstanding. We never regretted appointing him for a moment. Throughout the entire process, he was thoughtful, detail-oriented, hardworking, and gracious. He is also so responsive and accountable—I appreciated this so much and I know most agents wouldn’t be nearly as quick and supportive. We always felt prioritised as clients and listened to, and Michael was very patient with my anxious moments. He is an agent who deserves his clients’ trust and I recommend him wholeheartedly!
