36 Elcho Street

Hamilton NSW 2303

Easily the most breathtaking home on the street, make sure you're not blocking traffic when you stop to admire the elegant facade of this 1900s cottage, just steps from vibrant Beaumont Street. Rescued from the wrecking ball by a lover of period homes, this property has been artfully redesigned by architect Ben Rainsford, keeping the original front portion and adding light-filled living space at the back to create a tasteful blend of old and new.

Cross the gorgeous tiled front porch and step inside the central hallway of the home, complete with original wide plank floors, high ceilings and updated lighting. On the left you'll find a flexible fourth bedroom, ideal as a study or media room, followed by a generous main suite with built-in robes the full width of the room and a stunning ensuite bathroom showcasing brushed gold fixtures, a custom Blackbutt vanity and the perfect feature tile. On the right of the hallway sits two identical guest rooms, each with large robes and a built-in study nook. These bedrooms share the luxurious main bathroom with a wet area behind frameless glass, including a rainfall showerhead, deep freestanding soaking tub and more of that incredible tile.

Past the internal courtyard, the hallway delivers you to the great room where you can relax and recline next to the huge picture window in the living space or sit down to eat in the ample dining area. Anchored by polished concrete floors, the heart of the great room is the bespoke kitchen, finished with stone benchtops, gold hardware and Bosch appliances, and supported by a butler's pantry with extensive storage. Sliding glass doors connect to the covered deck where you can entertain or unwind while enjoying the privacy of the low maintenance backyard.
