1920's Cottage Transformed Via An Award-Winning Architectural Redesign

Winner of the 2015 Australian Institute of Architects Newcastle Awards for Residential Architecture (Alterations and Additions) by Joe Trongchittam of Husk Architecture Interiors, this expertly renovated home with upper-level extension offers a sanctuary of top-tier lifestyle appeal in one of Hamilton's finest streets. Created with an eye for design and finished to an exceptional standard, inside features many respectfully retained period details along with carefully considered new inclusions, and the interplay between the two is nothing short of perfection. There's an easy connection between the high gloss kitchen and the dining area to the lounge room and the stunning outdoor retreat beyond, providing a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Two of the three bedrooms are located on ground level along with two bathrooms, while the master with ensuite and balcony occupies the top floor. Bohemian by nature, Hamilton is a suburb that thrives on the city's fringe. Eclectic and always on the move, it has established itself as a diverse and cosmopolitan community with the focal point being Beaumont Street, which is both a well-regarded foodie scene and a popular spot for retail shopping. - Charming Federation-era weatherboard fully renovated to meet the demands of modern living - Hardwood floors, leadlight windows and an ornamental fireplace pay homage to its origins - Thoughtfully placed skylights, transparent panelling and recycled hardwood feature throughout - Polished kitchen finished in stone and featuring quality stainless steel appliances - A dining area with fireplace adjoins the kitchen for effortless meals and entertaining - Sunlit living room with stackers doors opening out to a fully landscaped and private yard with alfresco deck - Superb top-floor parent's retreat with huge BIRs, ensuite, private balcony and work station - Two ground floor bedrooms, one with ensuite, one with an adjacent courtyard, both with floor-to-ceiling BIRs and ceiling fans - Additional features include multi-zoned ducted air conditioning, a tucked-away craft or study nook, and a space-saving laundry - Prized and wide rear lane access to an automatic garage with custom joinery and storage space - Footsteps to much-loved and recently upgraded Gregson Park and its popular tennis courts We have obtained all information used in the preparation of this document from third party sources however, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or currency of this information.
