56 Laman St, Cooks Hill is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom House with 1 parking spaces and was built in 1920. The property has a land size of 100m2 and floor size of 67m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in May 2022.
This classic Cooks Hill workers cottage has been cleverly transformed into an inner-urban haven using a raw palette of industrial materials including polished concrete floors and steel beams with the original double brick walls stripped back revealing texture and even the odd possum paw print. Clean minimalist lines, amazing storage solutions, and a cozy, bright interior are all a nod to Scandinavian design. Crafted to maximise every square inch of the property, this two-bedroom residence is a brilliant example of small footprint, big impact living.
Rather than serving just one function, the open plan living space with a large, chefs kitchen and a work-from-home zone can also accommodate a large dining table for entertaining. Economical to run hydronic under-floor heating keeps things cosy in winter, and cleverly placed skylights and a bi-fold door inject beautiful natural light into the home. And just when you thought things couldnt get much better, the smart renovation has included a north facing deck for alfresco enjoyment, and a courtyard herb garden.
Rear lane access to park the car adds the finishing touches although its an easy decision to leave the car at home and explore everything this prized area has to offer on foot. Pavement cafes, corner pubs and boutique stores set the scene for a fabulous lifestyle.
