This delightful three-bedroom cottage 'Helena', in the heart of Marrickville, has been restored and refurbished since it was built in Circa 1890. The property has retained its classic charm with soaring ceilings, European oak floorboards and classic features throughout, while thoughtful upgrades benefit a modern lifestyle. Behind its pretty facade, the generous and light-filled home flows easily through to a combined lounge/dining, as well as separate custom designed kitchen and family living area. Here timber bi-folds open the space completely to an undercover deck, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Equally appealing is the sunny and private garden, dappled with fruits trees, shrubs, veggie boxes, decking and fire pit area. A separate studio/home office provides a peaceful workspace as does the rustic outdoor workshop. The location is attractive, with everything you need close-at-hand, including city buses, Marrickville Metro and quality schools. Stroll to local cafes, restaurants, craft breweries and Marrickville markets. An amazing opportunity to secure a spacious family home in a highly liveable corner of Sydney's enviable Inner West. -Freestanding three-bedroom house on tranquil leafy street -Light-filled interiors with high ceilings, oak floorboards & chevron flooring -Classic features with picture rails, dado rails & tongue-in-groove panelling -Combined dining/lounge area with skylight and original working fireplace -Open plan kitchen/family living area with bi-folds opening to deck & garden -Custom-designed gas kitchen with quartzite benchtop, Smeg appliances, integrated Bosch dishwasher & movable island -Three beautifully decorated bedrooms, two with built-in robes -Heat and sound insulation, ducted heating/cooling, European laundry -Classic style bathroom with freestanding bath & chic decorative tiles -Double glazed windows throughout with custom made cedar window frames -Established north/west facing garden with veggie boxes, fruit trees & fire pit -Separate garden home office, workshop and storage shed -Close to Marrickville Metro, and the shops & restaurants on Marrickville Rd -City buses at the end of the street, walk to Enmore Park and local pool -Near cafes, restaurants, pubs, craft breweries, Marrickville organic markets -Close to bars, shops and gourmet eateries of Enmore and Newtown -In catchment area for Marrickville Public and close to Newington College
