9 Redman St, Islington NSW 2296

Modern homes are not something you stumble across often in Islington, which is exactly why this one stands out. Designed across two well-considered levels, it offers the space, storage and functionality that older homes struggle to deliver. Downstairs, the layout opens easily from the front lounge to a central kitchen with gas cooking and Bosch dishwasher, before stretching out to a generous family and dining zone at the rear. Sliding doors connect to a private garden that extends the living area outdoors without adding upkeep, while a full laundry, guest powder room and internal access to the double garage handle the practical side of life. Upstairs is given entirely to rest and retreat, where four bedrooms all feature built-in wardrobes and the oversized main bedroom steps out to its own sunny balcony. With air-conditioning, a full family bathroom, private ensuite, a double garage and yard space, the home is seductive in its simplicity. And then there's the setting - just a short stroll to Beaumont Street's cafés, wine bars and vintage stores, Hamilton Station for an easy Sydney connection, nearby Islington Park and cycleway links that run through Honeysuckle to the harbour and Nobbys Beach.

- Quality brick-and-tile home with rare double garage offering internal access

- Front living room plus an open plan family and dining area anchoring the kitchen
