Terrace House

Rarely does a development like Ashbury Terraces hit the market in Sydney&#39;s popular inner west area.

The family-owned developer and builder, Coronation Property, in collaboration with SJB Architects and 360 Landscape Architects, has created something completely new in the suburb of Ashbury.

Ashbury Terraces, at 165 Milton Street, will see&nbsp;59 terraces and three luxurious penthouses across three&nbsp;residential buildings, anchored by a resort-style landscaped pool area that looks more at home in LA&#39;s Palm Springs.

&ldquo;Some of Australia&rsquo;s best design minds are working on the project, meaning everything about the interiors of Ashbury Terraces exudes refined designer living,&rdquo; Coronation Property&#39;s Head of Urban Transformations,&nbsp;Aras Labutis, said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112253 project_image_fid=193246]

Coronation will&nbsp;transform the former industrial site into a luxury residential estate. They secured the parcel of land in 2014 as one of just two neighbouring spaces available for renewal in the tightly held suburb.

The&nbsp;stage one release will see&nbsp;59 two and three-storey terrace homes and three exclusive penthouses hit the market.

The design of the terraces takes inspiration from the area&rsquo;s parklands and well-defined heritage character to honour its setting and blend seamlessly into its surrounds.

&ldquo;Ashbury Terraces has been designed to bring communities together and welcome families at every stage of life to enjoy a home that embraces light, high-amenity and the natural surrounds,&rdquo; Labutis said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112253 project_image_fid=193248]

Residences will feature open-plan living spaces with expansive outdoor entertaining areas and gardens. The project celebrates living amongst greenery, bringing the outdoors in across multi-level gardens from the ground up.

SJB&#39;s interior architects have developed two colour palettes directly inspired by the gardens of Ashbury. Buyers will get the choice between the Flora Scheme, which features soft pink and beige tones, and the Fibre Scheme, which has tones of white and grey.

The Terraces include&nbsp;a selection of high-quality fittings and inclusions,&nbsp;including high-end Miele appliances and large pantries.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112253 project_image_fid=193233]

SJB has worked collaboratively with Coronation&nbsp;to ensure the private outdoor retreats have views of the surrounding landscape and city skyline.

&ldquo;Our shared vision with Coronation was to create a collection of residences built on community and amenity &ndash; a place that truly improves as it ages,&rdquo; said Adam Haddow, SJB&rsquo;s Principal Architect &amp; Director.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112253 project_image_fid=193234]

At the heart of the project is &lsquo;The Garden&rsquo; &ndash; a large communal space with dining areas, a gym and a 20-metre heated swimming pool.

Landscaped pathways connect W H Wagener Oval, which act as an extension of the already sizeable backyards.

The development will also incorporate a pedestrian link between Milton Street and the park for both residents of Ashbury Terraces and the broader community to utilise.

Ashbury Terraces has been consciously designed with the inclusion of solar panels to enhance sustainability, which supports Coronation&rsquo;s long-term view of creating homes to last a lifetime.

With construction underway, residents are expected to move in by mid-2024.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112253 project_image_fid=193248]

Having already completed the likes of The Paper Mill precinct in Liverpool, Coronation have over $5.3 billion in mixed-use projects in the pipeline,&nbsp;including Mason &amp; Main in Merrylands, as well as Charlie Parker and 8 Phillip St in Parramatta, which are currently under construction.

In an attempt to help property buyers get on the ladder in an era of runaway house prices, Coronation Property&nbsp;recently launched the&nbsp;&lsquo;Own Way&rsquo; finance scheme.

The scheme&nbsp;offers flexible deposit arrangements for aspiring buyers, catering to homebuyers wanting to get a foot in the door, but who may be struggling to save the 10 per cent deposit.

The flexible&nbsp;deposit payment scheme allows buyers to secure an apartment with just a one per cent&nbsp;upfront deposit, paying&nbsp;off the remaining balance of the usual 10 per cent&nbsp;deposit over a 12-month period.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://coronation.com.au/pave-your-own-way-to-homeownership/">Learn more about Coronation&rsquo;s Own Way scheme here.</a>

Designed in collaboration with SJB Architects, five residential buildings will sit across a 1.5 hectare site at 165 Milton Street , which is about 10 kilometres from Sydney’s CBD.

Coronation Property launch Ashbury Terraces, the inner west's finest terrace collection

A local private purchaser has snapped up four adjoining terrace houses in Melbourne's Cremorne.
There was a strong contest between owner-occupiers and developers for 102-106 Stephenson Street.
It sold under the hammer for $7.1 million after bidding started from $6,300,000.
Four adjoining property owners joined forces to sell their properties as one large, 546 square metre Commercial 2 zoned development site.
The eventual land rate of $13,003 per square metre sets a new benchmark for Cremorne commercial development opportunities, Colliers suggested. 
Land values in the prime city fringe hot spots of Richmond and Cremorne, as well as nearby Collingwood and Abbotsford, have almost doubled in the last two years, from circa $5,000-$7,000 per square metre two years ago to north of $11,000 per square metre for Commercial 2 zoned land.
A nearby permit-approved, 1,579 square metre corner site at 71-93 Gipps Street in Collingwood has already attracted more than 100 enquiries and interest in the vicinity of $17 million.
It is an immediate development prospect for an 11 level, Hayball-designed office project.

EXPERT OBSERVER
Eight more Sydney councils are protesting about moves to simplify terrace house approvals.
What began as only two councils protesting about medium density plans for Sydney’s suburbs has now grown to ten concerned councils and more are likely to come. 
Canterbury Bankstown and Ryde councils have now been joined by Georges River, Sutherland, the Hills, Randwick, Strathfield, Lane Cove, Hawkesbury and the Northern Beaches councils all protesting about the NSW Government’s ‘missing middle’ medium density code.
The amazing thing about this is that the code is only for two storey homes and can only be applied where council plans allow medium density homes to be built. 
Strathfield Council, for example, does not allow any medium density housing so clearly the code is not relevant but the council is still out to protest. What seems to be happening is that councils are using the missing middle code as a proxy for over development and championing its rejection to save their residents from change.
With an election only ten months away the mood of the electorate is developing into an anti-growth, anti-change position with pressure from councils onto the state government. 
The Urban Taskforce is concerned that years of planning by the state government and the Greater Sydney Commission could all be overturned as the tensions from change make people nervous. But the city must change and we must not throw out long term planning because of short term tensions.” 
Sydney has a diverse community and this calls for a diversity of housing types from detached houses to town houses, terrace houses, low rise apartments to apartment towers. There will be different lifestyles related to each of these housing types and the state government must support all of the housing types in the most appropriate location for each type.
The Urban Taskforce believes the NSW Government should not back down on its planning policies as this will only encourage more councils and community groups to want further back downs. The government must support long term planning over short term back downs in a pre-election environment. 
CHRIS JOHNSON is the Urban Taskforce CEO.

There's whispers's one of Paddington's largest terrace homes has been purchased for around $7 million by Dr Naomi McCullum, the pioneer of non-surgical cosmetic medicine.
It is not far from her practice, The Manse Clinic.

The traditional verandahs wrapping around all three levels have views down towards Rushcutters Bay.
It comes with over nine metres wide frontage at the end of the heritage row.

The retired litigation lawyer Peter Keel, a former Clayton Utz partner, and his wife Angela, have listed their McMahons Point home.
It is set for December 16 Stone auction.
It was 1999 when he couple commissioned Jon Johannsen to design the modernism <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-mcmahons+point-126782410" target="_blank">double sandstone residence</a> with five bedrooms. It comes with a pool on the double block.

The interior decorator, and eastern suburbs socialite, Janelle 'Nellie' Tilley is selling her Double Bay home.
The <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-double+bay-124989562" target="_blank">Victorian terrace</a> appeared in Vogue Living in 2012, but it has been updated even more recently.
Near the heart of Double Bay village, the home blends contemporary with classic, with traditional facade and restored period features combined with custom upgrades and additions.
A flowing floor plan provides two distinct living areas.
An internal atrium with a soaring mosaic wall features, as well as an entertainers' balcony and rear courtyard.
Each of the three bedrooms have their own balcony, while an entry level home office can be set up as a fourth bedroom.
"It is an exquisite tapestry of bespoke executive finishes," listing agent Di Baker at Di Baker Prestige Properties said.
There is a price guide of $6.3 million to $6.9 million.
Her marketing highlighted Tilley's role in the marketing of the home.
Her prior work have been highlighted in the past marketing of the Point Piper apartment of former Goldman Sachs boss Simon Greenaway that fetched $3.2 million late last year.
There was also her decor in the three storey Paddington terrace of Credit Suisse managing director Paul Allen and his wife Liz Morgan which fetched $4,465,000 in 2014.
Tilley says the inspiration for her work comes from many varied places.
But she is totally in awe of all Parisian architecture and antiquities.
She also admire the 16th century Palladian villas. 
Tilley, a mother of three boys, is well known around the Eastern suburbs social circles, regularly appearing at red carpet events and charity fundraisers.
It cost Tilley $2.38 million in 2014 from Michael de Meaune.

What’s old is new again as urban designers look to the past to solve a modern challenge in Queensland’s booming housing markets.
Leading consultancy group RPS have suggested that individually designed freehold terrace homes were getting set to be the future of compact housing in Australia.
RPS Regional Technical Director of Urban Design Peter Egerton said people looking for affordable, low-maintenance homes in prime lifestyle areas such as the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast were finding the new innovations in compact housing ticked all the boxes.
The rear laneways of the modern terrace lots are the same dimensions as those of days gone by but instead of being used by dunny carts, these days they provide vehicle access to rear-facing garages. This allows increased vehicle parking or storage opportunities without affecting the aesthetic appeal of the home’s street front.
“The terrace homes are essentially freestanding houses with a 50 millimetre gap in between and a high density easement over the whole boundary to take care of maintenance requirements,” Peter Egerton said.
RPS has been at the forefront of creating game-changing solutions in compact housing for the past decade, working as the urban designer on projects that have pioneered the new concepts in terrace allotments such as Fitzgibbon Chase on Brisbane’s northside, CityVillage Terraces at Robina and Sunshine Cove on the Sunshine Coast.
Chardan Development Group’s Sunshine Cove at Maroochydore has recently received national kudos for its innovation in residential terrace allotments, taking out the Residential Development award at the 2016 UDIA National Awards for Excellence. 
Sunshine Cove’s first residential precinct was launched in 2010 and creativity and innovation were hallmarks of the project from the start.

History repeats with re-birth of the terrace home

The Surry Hills home of “the woman Sydney forgot” Natalie Jean Wood, whose remains were undiscovered for eight years after her death, has been put up for February 24 offsite auction.
Ms Wood was last confirmed seen in 2003 and not seen again until 2011.
Her decomposed body was found in the front bedroom of the Kippax Street terrace just short of what would have been her 87th birthday.
“That the death of a life long resident of a high density housing area should remain undiscovered until after all the flesh had rotted from her frail bones caused public disquiet,” the Coroner’s Report said.
The Kippax Street home was listed after the Supreme Court ruled Ms Wood’s sister-in-law Enid Davis would inherit the assets. 
The home, advertised as a dilapidated deceased estate, is a two-bedroom on 75 sqm at<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-surry+hills-121704902" target="_blank"> 139 Kippax Street, Surry Hills</a> that has an external bathroom and laundry.
Selling agent PRDnationwide Perez Real Estate’s Corrinne Olsen has noted buyer interest up to $700,000.
The history of the property is fully disclosed to buyers in the contract of sale.
Property records indicate 139 Kippax Street was initially purchased by her father.

A time-warp in Sydney's Paddington is for sale, but only after a bizarre court case.
The dilapidated Paddington terrace at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-paddington-121762078" target="_blank">45 Iris Street</a> isn't difficult to spot with it's faded yellow facade drawing the eye.
<img src="/images/2016/02/08/p.jpg" alt="">
The quirky interior walls are filled with quirky designs, some of which are hand drawn by the previous owner Christina Coombes who was an artist.
Christina passed away in 2013 and had owned the property for the last 40 years.
She bought the property with her late butcher husband Kenneth Coombes in 1965 for £3,200.
The terrace was in the limelight last year when an Iraqi refugee tried to claim the dank hovel, suggesting he was Christina's lover, cat minder and dancing partner for 17 years.
<img src="/images/2016/02/08/image4.jpg" alt="">
Christina's neighbours told the New South Wales Supreme Court that he was nothing more than a fruit and junk salesman who occasionally sold items to her.
It was discovered Waleed Sadiq never had a key, did not visit her in hospital, and failed to attend her funeral. He has been confirmed as living in Woolloomooloo.
The home is now under control of the NSW Trustee and Guardian who have had to seek a new certificate of title due to the last one being lost.
Christina was described as a bit of a recluse, which was no surprise considering the state of the home.
The advice from listing agent Adam McKay of the Di Jones agency is to bring a builder and an architect, because this property will need a lot of work.
There are two bedrooms, one bathroom and a rear courtyard.
Adam has said that he has received huge amounts of enquiry and had a great number of buyers through the first open on Saturday. 
He set a guide of $750,000 for the property which goes to auction on February 24.
<img src="/images/2016/02/08/main-1.jpg" alt="">
"It is a very difficult terrace to put a price on as there will be a large variation as to what each buyer thinks it is worth.
"For instance, for those who are looking at the property to renovate and sell, they will be factoring in the cost of the works associated in order to get it ready for sale.
"However for the first home buyers who are excited at getting hold of a Paddington terrace at a discounted price, we may find that they push themselves further to secure the home and complete the renovations over a number of years," he said.
