22 Pleasant Avenue Erskineville, NSW 2043

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.
