Erskineville NSW 2043

The imaginative architect-designed reinvention of this 6m wide terrace, by award-winning architect Andrew Short, links the old with the new via a striking contemporary extension crafted to achieve a seamless transition between indoors and out and create a journey through the landscaped garden. By juxtaposing original period features with high-end custom finishes, the design creates a sense of drama and intrigue with a spacious three-storey layout ideally suited to family life. With a focus on timeless & sophisticated materials, the design pairs burnished concrete and stainless steel with fine detailing, elegant curved lines, and external charred timber shutters that play beautifully with light throughout the day. Rebuilt from the ground up with wide district views that are magic at sunset from the top floor, the four-bedroom home holds a prized end-of-row position with dual street access and a lock-up garage (via Ashmore Street). The original front of the home has been restored to its former glory while the rear has been conceived as the social heart with full-height pivot doors opening to a tranquil entertainer's haven designed by award-winning landscape architect Emily Simpson. With Erskineville Public School and the station at the top of the street, it's an easy 400m stroll to the village hub and just 350m down to Erskineville Oval.
