project J1303 – leichhardt

Hidden on a quiet Leichhardt street, this 1910s semi-detached cottage features a contemporary two storey rear addition with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and architectural finishes.

The gantry leading to the master bed and ensuite overlooks the kitchen and dining, creating a void with a soaring 5m ceiling.
This reimagined home emphasises a sense of natural light, space and texture, complete with both private spaces and open plan living.
Warmly dubbed the ‘Urban Treehouse’, the rear extension sits perfectly within the existing trees to produce a private leafy outlook.

  • Large format stacker doors at rear open to a recycled brick paved patio and leafy private back yard.
  • Large master bedroom incorporating a study space and walk through robe to ensuite.
  • Engineered oak floors throughout link the period front hall with the split-level staircase and contemporary addition.
  • Clever design of the gantry creates a sense of space and light.
  • Large custom kitchen with hidden butler’s pantry, Caesarstone benchtops and splashback.
  • Side entry mud room incorporating laundry, storage and bench seating.
