No 3: 73 Young Street Annandale
28 January 2010
With so many period homes in Sydney's Inner West, buyers must often consider how to take a property that is over 100 years old and shape it to fit today's lifestyle. This semidetached Victorian residence in Young Street, Annandale provides an excellent example of how to go about the transformation, with smartly renovated interiors, a clever use of space and a fresh splash of contemporary style.
Step inside and you are met by a striking lounge, which has been boldly designed with a new take on old world opulence. Subtly patterned black wallpaper creates a feature of the fireplace, while overhead a stunning black crystal chandelier brings further richness. A large designer wall decal has also been employed to complete the dramatic monochrome effect.
The home has been configured to include a large main bedroom, a 2nd bedroom/nursery and a separate study alcove. There is also a chic casual dining room, a sleek bathroom and a modern galley kitchen which is appointed with a Fisher & Paykel oven, gas cooktop and twin drawer dishwasher.
The picturesque private courtyard has been stylishly landscaped and features built-in seating set beneath a beautiful established frangipani tree. The property also offers the advantage of rear lane access to secure garage. Desirably positioned, the home takes its place in one of Annandale's tranquil tree-lined streets, moments from local cafes and within close reach of Norton Street's restaurants, Sydney University, Broadway Shopping Centre and the CBD.
73 Young Street, Annandale will be offered for auction on Saturday the 20th of February at 3.45pm. For further information contact Monique Dower on 0410 499 461.
