Annandale

The private development firm&nbsp;Eranna Development has launched Abbie&#39;s Lane, a new apartment development in Annandale in Sydney&#39;s inner west.

The distinctive five-level building, to be built by Ceerose at 8 McCarthy Lane, will home 42 studio, one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

Abbie&#39;s Lane has been designed by PBD Architects, whose primary target was to create an &#39;outside-in&#39; approach and village feel for residents, achieved by the inclusion of Abbie&#39;s Lawn, a landscaped courtyard that sits in between the built form.

There&#39;s further outdoor green space crowning the building. Abbie&#39;s Rooftop will act as a community hub for residents, and feature&nbsp;barbecue facilities for&nbsp;exclusive resident use. Ground floor retail can also be found at Abbie&rsquo;s Lane &ndash; bringing a sense of vibrancy to the street level.

Edward Doueihi, Managing Director of Ceerose, said careful consideration of the historical streetscape character is reflected through intricate design to create an urban retreat.

&quot;The development adopts a sympathetic material pallet that respects the heritage significance and aesthetics that Annandale is known for,&quot; Doueihi says.

&quot;Abbie&rsquo;s Lane is thoughtfully designed by PBD Architects and will be a valuable addition to the neighbourhood.&rdquo;

PBD Architects Managing Director Paul Buljevic says the built form explores the concept of solidity versus openness.

&quot;The fa&ccedil;ade&rsquo;s brickwork and powder coated metal will complement the historical roots of Annandale with a contemporary aesthetic.

&quot;We employed sustainable strategies to maximise the flow of natural air and improve ventilation across the development.

&ldquo;Abbie&rsquo;s Lane&rsquo;s striking exterior is focused on protection and solidity, while the interior balances restorative calm. The use of natural textures and refined simplicity will be on display throughout the apartments.

Colliers are handling the marketing of Abbie&#39;s Lane, with prices starting from $750,000.

Daniel McMahon, Director - Residential at Colliers says Abbie&rsquo;s Lane represents a unique offering in the Inner West and is one of the first new projects in Annandale that will capitalise on growth plans in the area.

&quot;Annandale&rsquo;s easy accessibility to Sydney CBD, Blackwattle Bay, Barangaroo and popular universities make Abbie&rsquo;s Lane a very appealing location for both owner occupiers and savvy investors.

&ldquo;There is a limited number of new apartment projects in the suburb, ensuring Abbie&rsquo;s Lane is ideally positioned in the marketplace.

&quot;Conveniently located on the city fringe, the development&rsquo;s high-quality apartment offering complimented by a friendly village lifestyle will draw a wide mix of buyers.&rdquo;

Abbie&rsquo;s Lane apartments have been designed to take advantage of the building&rsquo;s frontages capturing sunlight, summer breezes and leafy street views.

The apartments feature private courtyards, large outdoor spaces, wide frontages and a select few even have built-in fireplaces. Bathrooms will feature porcelain tiles and mosaics,&nbsp;Parisi tapware, basins and bathtubs. Light and dark schemes in the kitchen will be complimented by stone benchtops and a splashback, custom joinery and timber floorboards.

Situated on&nbsp;1,765 sqm, Abbie&rsquo;s Lane is next door to the Annandale Hotel, Annandale Public School is a short 700 metre walk, while Annandale Village is within 950 metres. Sydney University, the University of Technology Sydney and RPA Hospital are all within 2.8 kilometres.

Annandale among the fastest selling NSW suburbs

UNIVERSITY of NSW economics professors Bill Schworm and Denise Doiron sold their Annandale at weekend auction with price expectations of $1.85 million.
The result ended up at $2.1 million after flying past the $1.9 million reserve.
The <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-annandale-127998578" target="_blank">three-bedroom, one-bathroom Pritchard St house</a> on 252sqm was renovated in 2003. They had paid $325,000 in 1993. The couple are selling the two-level house to downsize with plans to live offshore for part of the year.
Belle Property Annandale agents Robert Clarke and Michael Hallit had the listing, which was pitched just above the suburb’s $1.76 million median price for three-bedroom houses.
The March quarter Annandale auction clearance rate was 74 per cent from 28 auctions, which was higher than the inner west’s 65 per cent success rate, according to CoreLogic.

As the scaffolding comes down from St Kilda's Gatwick Hotel, the location of this year's series of The Block, its executive producer Julian Cress can focus all his attention on the nearing airing of the show.
He's finally found a buyer for his redundant Annandale warehouse which he inherited from his late father, the Archibald award-winning artist Fred Cress.
The property space failed to sell at its March McGrath auction when it had a guide of $4 million after being listed in February.
It then went up with a guide of $4.5 million, selling 77 days into its marketing campaign to a Potts Point couple.
Fred Cress had used the Johnstone Lane warehouse as his creative studio.
Julian commissioned architect Julian Brenchley and designer Darren Palmer to undertake the recent conversion which was recognised with the 2015 MBA's Excellence in Housing Award.
He and wife Sarah have been based in Albert Park after The Block became more permanently based in Melbourne.
Cress became critical of Sydney council approvals in his pursuit of development sites for the Channel 9 show.
He has been executive producer of the hit show since its first series in 2003 where they renovated a block of apartments in Bondi.
Set at the end of a laneway, the home has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a ground floor gallery.
The warehouse features polished concrete, exposed brick and soaring ceilings, interlaced with exposed steel and timber trusses.
There's an open plan upper level integrated with a private rooftop terrace.
The prior to-price for a converted warehouse in Annandale sat with the $3.7 million paid last June by fellow artist Jonathan Newton, the son of Britain’s Gravity Media Group boss John Newton.

It comes with Miele kitchen, designer bathroom, light-flied lounge and dining and landscaped courtyard. 
In 2018, couple bought Hartland, a two-hectare property in Kangaroo Valley for $1.2 million, marking a return of sorts to the Southern Highlands where they sold their Mittagong acreage in 2016 for $2.8 million.
The couple bought a rundown terrace in Paddington for $2.7 million in 2015 and selling it three years later for $5.25 million after a renovation.
The property was sold by Pilcher Residential.

Oybin, an 1880s Annandale mansion, sold at competitive weekend auction for $3.12 million.
Its sits on Johnston Street's historic Ridge Development, which commands sweeping views of the city and the harbour.
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-annandale-123643482" target="_blank">Built in the Classical Revival style</a>, the home fell into disrepair but it has been extensively restored over recent decades.
Surrounded by 120-year-old palms, it was listed with $3 million price guidance by the BresicWhitney agent Matthew Carvalho.
There was an opening bid of $2.925 million after a $2.9 million vendor bid began proceedings at the onsite auction beneath planes flying through the cloudy sky.
The enduring existence of Oybin is due entirely to locals who rallied to form the Annandale Association and save local historic homes from 1970s unit developers.
They were just in time as high-rise unit blocks sits on two sides.
It last sold at a suburb price record of $2.1 million in 2007 when the Italianate villa was sold by Dr Dwight Dowda and psychologist Francesco Lo Pizzo.
It had previously traded at $580,000 in 1995 when sold by renovators, Paul and Yvonne Maule. 
Vendor Norma Perry researched the architect C.H.E Blackmann. The mansion was designed by, and built for, Charles Blackmann who quit Australia, so it was researched, with a local barmaid and money embezzled from his partnership with architect John Sulman. 
She published a racy tale of fraud and exile, but records his substantial contribution to architecture in Australia, along with a story of German migration, mining, family life in Victorian times and the consequences of his desertion and flight to California.
