The inspired reinvention of one of Erskineville's signature Federation cottages delivers an alluring fusion of heritage architecture and innovative design in one of the area's most tightly held cul-de-sacs. Built c1910 and set on a family friendly avenue that lives up to its name, the freestanding family home has undergone an imaginative redesign by award-winning architects Welsh + Major that links the old with the new via a two-storey pavilion style extension designed to embrace a gorgeous walled garden. Designed to capture sunshine throughout the day, open living space incorporates a sleek island kitchen while double-height ceilings and highlight windows frame curated vistas and bring in the northerly light. A dynamic design caters to the changing patterns of family life with an upper level parents' retreat and a self-contained studio with a private entry ideal as au pair accommodation, teen retreat or an income earner. In a tucked-away enclave where homes rarely trade, this community minded neighbourhood is just 450m to the station and 400m to South King Street's urban buzz with no through-traffic.
