15 Black Street, Marrickville

The inspired renovation of this freestanding bay fronted family home delivers an alluring fusion of heritage architecture and innovative design in one of the area's best pockets directly opposite Enmore Park and the Annette Kellerman Aquatic Centre. Set on a deep dual access block, the three-bedroom home links the old with the new via a lofty pavilion style extension that forms the social heart of the home and opens to a leafy courtyard garden that's perfect for outdoor living and entertaining. The front of the home retains its traditional charm with original Kauri floorboards and a restored fireplace serving as a gracious reminder of the past while designer Italian tiled bathrooms with underfloor heating, lofty raked ceilings and Ben-Tovim pendants add a stylish contemporary vibe. Featuring rear lane access to secure garaging, this beautiful parkside home is just a few hundred metres to Marrickville Metro shops and popular local cafes and eateries.
