22 Robert Street, Artarmon, NSW 2064

Offered for the first time in almost five decades, 'Clapton' is an impressive lifestyle haven architecturally renovated and extended for spacious contemporary living yet retaining the elegance and charm of a bygone era.

Introduced by a forecourt garden and covered verandah, the home unfolds over a single level with an original hallway featuring sophisticated new polished Redgum timber floors leading to an open plan addition at the rear. Here the lines are blurred between indoors and the alfresco, with wide glass sliders creating seamless flow from the living space to a private all-weather entertainment terrace and lush courtyard garden. Ceiling height windows featuring motorised louvres and blinds capture and disperse natural light from the northwest, while extensive custom display units hint at the remarkable amount of storage throughout the house. An island kitchen showcases quality Siemens appliances and includes an additional food preparation or pantry area and there is a substantial cleverly conceived two-way study behind a wide wall of cabinets providing a uniquely versatile workspace.

At the front of the house are two generously-sized bedrooms and a tasteful modern bathroom plus an ensuite to the master. Both bedrooms include fully fitted built-in wardrobes, with the master featuring a stylish ensuite and original casement windows showcasing intricate leadlight detailing above. The two bathrooms provide mirrored face-level storage along with wall-mounted heaters and towel warming rails. There is also a separate European-style laundry and attic storage. Ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning ensures year-round comfort and there are solar panels for energy efficiency, a rainwater recycling system and easy off-street parking including a single carport with secure workshop at the rear.

Perfect for a couple and the ultimate downsizer, the home is ideally positioned for easy access to Artarmon village, Chatswood and Sydney CBD, with sought-after schools and excellent transport options in the neighbouring vicinity.
