Secret find in the courtyard of hip $2m Sydney home – Nine

by | Aug 25, 2023 | Engineer

A four-bedroom home for sale in Sydney makes incredible use of its floorplan with an unexpected hatch to a hidden space.
Occupying 112 square metres, the property at 203 Abercrombie Street in Darlington has "layers of personality" and a savvy inclusion in the courtyard.
A hatch in the courtyard at the rear leads down to a self-contained studio, which could be rented out.
The house is listed by Melinda Antella and Shannan Whitney of BresicWhitney Inner East and has a price guide of $2.2 million. An auction date is scheduled for September 9.
Agents describe the terrace on the listing as being "creative and functional" with its space-saving design.
Architects for the rebuild have done an impressive job with fitting four bedrooms in the 112-square-metre footprint.
To give this some comparison, the average floor area of newly-built houses in New South Wales for the 2021 and 2022 financial year is 226 square metres.

The smallest houses in Australia are in Tasmania with an average floor area of under 200 square metres.
There are not one but three living zones in Darlington, plus a kitchen on the lower level. The second floor offers three bedrooms and a balcony.
The rear studio, accessed via stairs but also with its own door, takes on an industrial vibe with exposed brickwork and steel in the kitchen and living zones.
Keeping with the industrial aesthetic, the main residence features concrete floors and exposed pipes in the bathrooms.

For a touch of subtle glam, pendant lights and marble accents are welcome additions.
The front of the property is a charming blue and white terrace and the rear is more rustic with exposed brickwork and a hanging garden.
Domain's Property History reveals the home was previously a rental at $950 per week in May 2013.
The terrace is scheduled to go to auction at 3.45pm on September 9.
Darlington is an inner-city Sydney suburb, about 3km south of the CBD. There are not enough sales over the past 12 months for Domain to obtain a median house price.
