The previous record for a Redfern house is $4,975,000 which was achieved a year ago for a three-bedroom, three-bathroom Thurlow St terrace, designed by architect Luigi Rosselli, which is on a 168sqm block.The Kay home is a four-bedroom freestanding residence on a 335sqm block, one of the largest residential blocks in the suburb.The records show approval for an extension and alteration estimated to cost $90,000 in late 2015.
Described as a “trophy home” in the advertisement, it has two bathrooms, on-site parking for two or three cars with an electric gate, multiple living areas, high ceilings, study, kauri floorboards and cedar finishes.It also offers a very private and sunny garden with terrace and a garden studio, which has access via the rear pedestrian lane.
The home is close by St Jude Café and Little Eve and a short walk from the new Surry Hills Village shopping centre and apartment redevelopment.
Still gotta live somewhere.
