About this property
Step inside Erskineville’s few remaining weatherboard cottages, dating to the 1880s and reimagined by acclaimed architect Terry Bail of Archology.
Behind the classic double-fronted façade lies a stunning two-storey sanctuary that blends historic charm with sustainable design.
Crafted from reclaimed materials and guided by passive solar principles, this light-filled home is a sustainable oasis that treads lightly on the environment while offering a warm, inviting space for guests to enjoy.

There are two modern bathrooms in total, plus a separate laundry and powder room for added convenience.
Living and dining spaces are centred around a chef’s island kitchen, where lofty reclaimed timber beams, louvre windows and an abundance of natural light create a welcoming space for cooking and gathering.
