Rozelle

Sydney-based developer Heworth has lodged amendments to its approved development application of the former Balmain Leagues Club.&nbsp;

The group has improved the original design scheme for what will be Rozelle Village, with changes to the retail plaza and apartment designs.&nbsp;

Set to enhance the local retail precinct and provide a new community hub, apartment numbers have been reduced from 167 to 146, with a change in apartment mix also, increasing the number of two and three-bedders to suit the current market.&nbsp;

Located on a prominent corner site, interjecting with Victoria Road, Darling and Waterloo Streets, the residences will be connected above a shared retail and commercial podium, which will include a new, state of the art, Wests Ashfield Leagues Club, which amalgamated with the former Balmain Tigers Leagues Club.&nbsp;

Rozelle Village’s retail precinct will also be anchored by a major supermarket, providing greatly increased convenience to the local area.

Heworth engaged architecture practice Scott Carver to improve the overall design scheme, with Head of Property Chris Walsh saying the amendments will benefit the local community, as well as its future residents.&nbsp;

“A key focus of our development is a new Town Square, public plaza and major retail and hospitality podium connected by a series of laneways. It’s going to significantly contribute to Rozelle and become a major community meeting place and destination,” Walsh said.

“We are also seeking to change the apartment mix, increasing the number of two and three bedroom apartments as we feel the larger size floor plates and premium interior architecture, fixtures and fittings, will appeal to discerning local owner-occupiers, particularly downsizers.”

Construction is planned to commence in mid-2023 with completion due by 2025. It’s anticipated the apartments will be selling off the plan in 2023, with CBRE marketing them. An on-site sales office will include a display apartment and full detail on the retail offering.&nbsp;

Wests Ashfield, CEO, Simon Cook said the Club was excited that plans had progressed on the redevelopment of the site and he was pleased the amendments by Heworth sought to improve the current design scheme. 
&nbsp; 
“The redevelopment of the former Balmain Leagues Club has been years in the making. It’s highly anticipated by the Club members and they are very much looking forward to the delivery of a new state of the art facility,” Cook said.&nbsp;

Developer, Heworth submits amendments to approved DA reducing apartments supported by a major new Town Square, public plaza and retail precinct

Taronga Zoo director Simon Duffy and husband Wally Murphy, head of service operations at Westpac, sold their Rozelle home for $2.5 million after it passed in at weekend auction.
The four-bedroom Hutcheson Street home attracted four bidders at its Belle auction.
Belle Balmain agent Monique Dower secured the sale.
The freestanding Victorian era cottage that features timber floors, high ceilings, wall panelling and plantation shutters came with a guide of $2.35 million.

The buyers were a family from Annandale.
The vendors had extensively renovated the double-fronted Victorian cottage which is best remembered for its initial makeover by Patrick Thompson, the actor carpenter son of screen legend Jack Thompson, in the late 1990s.
The four-bedroom cottage now has a top floor parent ­retreat with walk in wardrobe, ensuite and decking with Anzac Bridge and city skyline views.

The commute from Sydney to the Southern Highlands must have ­become too much for chef Brigid Kennedy and her farmer husband Kevin Nott.
The pair, who have used their Rozelle home as their Sydney base for eight years, have listed it for sale with ­expectations of $2.1 million.
The couple own The Loch in Berrima, a working farm that offers boutique accommodation and a restaurant for Sunday dining.
Kennedy is the chef and Nott is a farmer and landscaper who manages Loch Farm Stall, the farm gardens for their paddock-to-plate restaurant, The Tasting Room.
Their Roser St home is a two storey property; the top level is a three-bedroom, three-bathroom place in which they live when they are in Sydney.
The lower level a separate self-contained one-bedroom apartment with a study that is currently leased for $500 a week, an option agent Lynsey Kemp of Belle Property Balmain hopes will set the home apart.
<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/2020/8/10/rozelle%202.jpg" alt="">
“(Brigid and Kevin) have been spending more and more time in Berrima so it’s a situation where they don’t need their Sydney base any more,” Kennedy said.
“It’s a beautiful double-fronted home in a central location but a big feature of it is that it offers the flexibility to keep the lower level leased to provide an income, or convert it into a big family home.”
Kennedy adds this flexible option which allowed them to lease the lower level of their home has been a financial boon over the years.
<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/2020/8/10/rozelle%203.jpg" alt="">
“Having a stylish self-contained apartment is a financial-drought proofer with either a permanent tenant or a more lucrative Airbnb arrangement,” Kennedy said.
“It’s very appealing, especially so close to town.” An August 29 auction is planned.

Former ABC chairman Justin Milne pulls Rozelle trophy from auction

Former ABC chairman Justin Milne and Anna Cicognani are selling Erinagh, their Rozelle home.
They've had the home for nearly two decades, having paid $1.15 million in 2000 for an original late 1800s farmhouse with a period cottage.
No word on where to next, but Cobden &amp; Hayson Balmain agents Danny Cobden and Samantha Elvy have a $4.8 million guide for a July 27 auction.
<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/2019/7/31/milne%20rozelle%202.jpg" alt="">
The fully modernised home has five bedrooms and four bathrooms across its two levels, as well as a parking for four cars.
Comprising high ceilings and an Indian limestone paved terrace, the home features a private lounge and a custom office.
The ground level master wing has its own designer ensuite.
Late last year, Milne resigned from the ABC after allegations he asked for a number of journalists to be sacked after the fallout of managing director Michelle Guthrie's departure.
Milne had been in the ABC's top job since 2017. He moved to New South Wales in the 1980s having bought a film company in Sydney. He more recently had senior roles at Telstra, Microsoft and NBN.
He and Cicognani married in 1996.
In 2014 they spent $1,212,500 on a two bedroom investment home across the road that has been a $720 a week rental.
Milne previously owned houses in Balmain and Lindfield. 
The Erinagh property was the longtime 1800s home of the Toohey family who were the caretakers of Glebe Island Bridge.

A historic shopfront Rozelle residence that featured in the film Ladies In Black was pulled from its onsite weekend auction.
Dating from the 1890s, the Evans Street property has been redesigned to be a three-level home with five bedrooms, five bathrooms and a rooftop terrace.
<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/2018/11/30/fda0e1340d59415fbf95e7382dfd841a.jpg" alt="">
The home had $3.4 million hopes but with just one registered bidder, McGrath chief auctioneer Scott Kennedy-Green didn’t hang around.
The gathering of 20 stickybeaks dispersed with a subsequent sale at an undisclosed price.
<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/2018/11/30/1609762609a64d48a0dbad3caf197248.jpg" alt="">
It last traded for $2.4 million in 2012. Its facade has its milk bar windows etched with ads for Foley’s Butter and Kinkara Tea.
The film, set in the summer of 1959, starred Alison McGirr, Rachael Taylor and Angourie Rice.
