General overview

Great comfortable home. Heritage features and well appointed finishes. Plenty of destinations when you need a break. Unplumbed studio down the back with single sofa bed.
Likely a little Burmese cat called Engine to keep you company too. Very self sufficient.
Available from sept 18 to Oct 18 2024, and potentially a few weekends here and there over school holidays.

The space

Three bedroom 1890s house. Great entertainers kitchen. Back veranda. Fully finished studio with sofa single bed if things get tight- no plumbing though. The gardens are all native at front and tropical at rear, with vegetables available at different points, abundance of avocados, oranges and mandarins. We are actively moving towards more indigenous plant species so you won’t find grass. 
Help yourselves to a fire pit with plenty of wood under house, go fishing or take the kayak out on the river.

Guest access

Level home though stairs down to studio, backyard and fire pit. One step to enter into home at front. Fully fenced and very safe area. Google door nest security.

Notes

Will leave notes on local galleries, cafes and walks. Really recommend you take our kayak down to Cooks river launch for paddle.
Photos of the house are a guide. This is our family home so it will have signed of  being generally lived in by a young family.

My wife and I have two small boys- 8 and 10. We’re an active family but our house also tells the story of comfort, convenience and love of being ensconced in our own tranquil getaway, right in the middle of Sydney, Australia. 
Tucked in behind the Cooks river, we have light rail, metro and bus options to get you everywhere. the village shops are 5 minute walk away, with many great bars, cafes, book stores and international options. Our neighbours are terrific and we’ll leave you with our fabulous coffee machine and fire pit. It’s very quiet but five minute walk to action.
We’re planning a big trip to Italy mid sept to mid oct 2024 so my wife (Italian) can show me and the boy some of the culture. We don’t want a hefty itinerary, opting to fall in with the local pulse. We’ll fly into Rome, and out of Milan a month later.
