Auction Location: On Site

23 Parry Street is a remarkable example of architectural transformation, where a traditional double brick Victorian terrace has been reimagined into a stunning contemporary home. This residence retains many of its original features, such as antique pine timber floors, three ornamental fireplaces, and intricate iron lattice work on the classic verandah. Once home to the pastor of nearby St Johns Anglican Church and other colorful local characters, this house is steeped in history.

Renovated by Bourne + Blue Architecture and Orton Building with custom joinery by Urban Design Cabinetry, the home blends its historic charm with modern design sensibilities and smart use of space. A versatile third bedroom at the rear can serve as a private home office or even a garage with access from the newly sealed right of way. The contemporary galley kitchen, the heart of the home, features two large Velux opening skylights that flood the space with natural light and fresh air and overlooks a separate kitchen courtyard. Anchoring this space is the dining room and living area, which becomes a cosy sanctuary in winter with an Escea gas log fire. and opens out onto another private courtyard to invite the outdoors in and alfresco enjoyment in the summer months. The upper level provides privacy with two additional bedrooms and a powder room with one bedroom offering a morning sun filled balcony opening to the street, while the other presents views of Centennial Park.
