Beautifully renovated period gem is a private inner city sanctuary
86 Gipps Street, Carrington NSW 2294
Auction Location: On Site.
On one of Carrington’s prettiest palm-lined streets, this 1920s weatherboard bungalow strikes the perfect balance between preserved period beauty and bold contemporary design. Original features including 10ft ornate plaster ceilings, leadlight windows, and polished timber floors anchor the home in its heritage, while a clever redesign floods the interiors with northerly light and introduces superb functionality.
The floorplan offers two separate living areas plus dining, a modern kitchen at the heart, and ideal bedroom separation with the master and ensuite downstairs, and two more bedrooms upstairs. From the street, the classic façade charms, while the striking architectural Colorbond addition at the rear makes a confident, maintenance-free statement.
Thoughtful details elevate every day including a mudroom behind bi-folds at the entry, skylights drawing in sunshine, and a 6.6kW solar system keeping things efficient. Landscaped native gardens wrap around the home, offering a front courtyard for sundowners, wide side access, and a rear deck and spa for alfresco nights under the stars. A 3m x 3m shed easily stows e-bikes, surfboards, and all the gear for an active inner-city life.
‘Carro’ is all about community, cosy corner pubs, fantastic eateries, and local shops. Just 500m away, Moa & Co serves up your favourite latte and toasties daily, plus farm-fresh produce on weekends. For a night out, head to Frenchie or Earp Distilling with friends. Being near the water means you can row, kayak, or paddleboard anytime, or explore the scenic paths from Honeysuckle to Nobbys Beach. You will just love living here.
