An inner-city sanctuary, beautifully renovated from front to back

Classic on the street and confidently contemporary behind the door, this beautifully renovated worker’s cottage feels like a private sanctuary wrapped inside a vibrant inner-urban setting. It’s close to the action yet blissfully removed from it.

Smartly updated, and extended at the rear, the home unfolds from a central hallway, with three large, air-conditioned bedrooms, main with ensuite, and the main bathroom branching off before opening into a generous rear living zone. Here, lounge, dining and kitchen come together in a bright, well-resolved space anchored by an island bench and a 900mm gas stove. It’s a layout that works effortlessly for everyday living and relaxed entertaining. French doors open to a covered deck and alfresco zone, with a securely fenced lawn that’s offers a safe play area for the kids or dog. Timber floors, 10-foot ceilings and VJ walls honour the home’s origins, and a quiet nook at the rear creates the perfect work-from-home setup.

This is true inner-city living done properly. Low maintenance, lock-and-leave and move-in ready, it also offers the flexibility to keep the status quo and continue operating as a successful Airbnb. Around the corner, Uprising Bakery fuels mornings, the refurbished Maryville Tavern handles easy midweek dinners, and weekends unfold between Islington Park and bike rides along the Throsby path to Honeysuckle and Nobbys Beach.
