15 Myrtle Street, Leichhardt

The picture-perfect cottage frontage and enduring good looks of this c1890 cottage give it instant street appeal but it's the dramatic contemporary extension and sunny pool that deliver the real wow factor. On an unusually large 352sqm approx in a quiet enclave between Marr Park and Wangal Nuru Reserve and its nature-based adventure playground, the two-storey home embraces its sunny north to rear aspect with a dramatic extension conceived as the social heart and opening out to a landscaped backyard with a heated saltwater pool. Lovingly restored and recreated, the original pressed metal ceilings create a striking feature in the front of the home while the upper level is devoted to a master suite with a tranquil northerly outlook over the backyard and jacaranda-framed streetscape.
