Drummoyne

<html><body>
A piece of Sydney maritime history available at the auction of 20 Market Street built by 1910s Drummoyne ferry master, Captain George Gerdes.
Captain Gerdes and his wife Emma built the house around 1912 for their family of seven girls and two boys. Now the house that once belonged to the Gerdes family is set to go to auction on August 1 through Fiona Hellams of Ray White Drummoyne.
Ms Hellams said the historical aspect of the home and recently done renovations make it hard to put a price on the house.
“There is limited stock on the market in Drummoyne at the moment and nothing that is comparable to this house so it’s difficult to give out a price guide,” Ms Hellams said.
“We have chosen to take it to auction so we can get the most transparent indication of what this property is worth and the best the market has to offer.
Current owners Mark and Elaine Dyson have overseen considerable renovations since being built in the early 20th century.
The Dyson’s renovations earned the Drummoyne property an award in 2007 from The Master Builders Association for Excellence in Housing Awards in New South Wales.
The original dormitory was divided and converted into a large federation style bathroom and a sitting room or guest bedroom while the formal lounge became a large bedroom. The house was also extended and opened up to allow light and a visual connection to the garden with flowing indoor and outdoor living areas.
Recycled timber was sourced to match the wide Baltic pine floorboards, along with a 150 year old ironbark timber structural support column.
The upper level was designed to match the streetscape architecture of the existing house, whilst creating a large, light and airy space to accommodate the master bedroom, ensuite, open dressing area and parent’s retreat. The front balcony also extended the view from the house across Centre Point Tower, Sydney CBD and Callan Park.

Both in the design industry, Ms Dyson said when it came to redesigning their home the couple really wanted to keep the integrity of the original house without doing a federation reproduction.   “The additions had to pay homage to the original house so we kept the high skirting boards and the original flooring as well as sourcing baltic pine floorboards because I wanted the flooring to flow to the new part of the house,” Ms Dyson said. “When we renovated the house we wanted to bring in a modern look and not completely ignore that it is an old house but keep those architectural details without making it a blank box. “We opened up the back of the house as well to let the sunlight come in. I do love the back of the house because it has this lovely flow from indoor to outdoor and it gets sun all year round.” While stock is low, Ms Hellams said the Drummoyne area has been popular with buyers looking for an inner city, family friendly area without the price tag.  “The house is in such a beautiful location, it’s only about 6 kms from the city in a very family orientated spot and because it’s got a lot of space for a family that’s the segment of the market we are expecting to see interest from,” Ms Hellams said.  “We’re over the bridge, a bit further away than Balmain from the city centre but a lot of inner city buyers are starting to look at Drummoyne more closely. “We’re getting a few out of area buyers as well, they are probably seeing Drummoyne as representing good value for money right now with a bit of extra space added in. “We’re seeing a lot of buoyancy for buyers and there’s a lot looking at the moment so demand is high.”

The Ray White Drummoyne office is well known for offering rarely available character home gems like Captain Gerdes’ house. Drummoyne agent Chris Wilkins is also set to sell a beautifully renovated Californian bungalow at <a href="https://ecomms.raywhite.com/collect/click.aspx?u=dDVJNUFaaUtibHRHSGNNM0RZcDByOS9BRzNhQXBsaC9KUjA5MHRxTzhHTHlVMnVqZUhqVWhKWlNDRGVDSUIzV2Q4WjBxdTdTODNjNGhtR3NGVkVRMmdGemVjYnUzN2N5QmhTU2JRS2pIMm42YzZGTnZyOGN4dGhZQUFyc2xzbHNvTU8zM0J6a3hTYWhjNEtCZTZnQ2txQ1pIcHdIa3p6UGU4S1VDVnJWUFdJPQ==&amp;rh=ff0064bf150646b0751ade6c95489c1fa8563148" target="_blank">27B Bowman St</a> (pictured above) through auction. The four bedroom property will be going to auction on July 25 and has already had strong interest from buyers after only being on the market for a short time.

The little known Harris family have listed the imposing Drummoyne riverfront, Clovelly, a substantial, two storey Federation house with $8 million hopes.
Built of red brick with pebble dash featuring in its chimneys, it was built about 1904 for Stanley Rea, a dentist. 
There have only been two families in ownership since <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-ascot-128253082" target="_blank">the historic treasure</a> was built with its 22 metre frontage to Drummoyne Bay. 
It goes to June 30 private auction through local agents Warwick Williams and Adrian Sereni.
The sandstone boatshed, originally built as the bathing house for the now demolished Drummoyne House, is an enclosed luxurious swimming pool.
Clovelly has panels of leaded art-nouveau glass windows.
It is one of the few surviving waterfront properties that retains house, setting and garden and waterfront features.

GWS Giants star Toby Greene, who has just secured a six year deal with the club, bought his first home during the off-season.
The star forward has bought in Drummoyne, where, judging may his instragram, he's clearly fallen for the sunsets over the bay.
He's spent $1.84 million on a charming Federation semi, dating back to circa 1910.
The 24 year old paid around $350,000 under the median house price in Drummoyne which according to CoreLogic sits at $2.2 million.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/3/13/greene2.jpg" alt="">
His new contract, the biggest in the Giants short history, ties him to the club until 2024, with a salary expected to be around $800,000 to $1 million a year.
Greene, who hails from Victoria, has already played 117 games for the club since being picked up in the 2011 draft when he was 18.
He made an instant impact in the club's first season in 2012, winning the best first year player award.
Like most of his team mates, he started off renting in Sydney at Breakfast Point.
In 2016 he was selected in the All-Australian team as the half-forward flank.
Upon signing the big money contract earlier this week, which stands as one of the longest in the AFL, Greene took to Instagram.
Accompanying a couple of pictures from his time at the Giants was the caption: "Proud and excited to share the next 6 years of my journey with <a class="notranslate" href="https://www.instagram.com/gwsgiants/" target="_blank">@gwsgiants</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/letthegoodtimesroll/" target="_blank">#letthegoodtimesroll</a>."
His new home, which he'll no doubt be sharing with long-time girlfriend Marley Gordon, has views over Iron Cove Bay and Rodd Island.
It has two bedrooms, one bathrooms, a formal dining room and a north facing courtyard on its 200 sqm parcel
A Corbelled arch entry hall is one of its few remaining periods features.
The wide-fronted semi marketed as offering scope to reconfigure to a three bedroom home or to add a second level.
Cobden &amp; Hayson Drummoyne agents Frank Colacicco and Mia Fredrix sold the home.
The Giants, which open their season against the Western Bulldogs, face their eastern suburbs inclined rivals, the Swans in round three under the lights at the SCG.

Hotelier Rod Salmon has sold his waterfront mansion in Drummoyne for more than $12 million, a record price for the inner west suburb.
The three-level residence is at the end of Wrights Point
The waterfront mansion was bought in 2014 from fellow hotelier Sam Arnaout who had commissioned the residence following his purchase of the 700-square-metre property in 2007 for $6 million.
​The three-level house includes five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a four-car garage, a rooftop terrace, gym, home theatre, swimming pool, separate living area with a wet bar, and separate guest apartment.
It comes with waterfront lawn that extends to Crown Land.
The record ends the Balmain peninsula’s decades long hold on the inner west’s top sales records, most recently set in 2014 at $11.8 million with the waterfront house purchase in Balmain East by the art collector Paris Neilson. 
The prior was set at $11.5 million in 2008 when Mark Ainsworth, son of billionaire poker machine maker Len Ainsworth, bought a Gothic-style villa on the Birchgrove waterfront.
