The Art Haus—Retro-Chic Hideaway near Local Gems

Steps from Petersham Station, this two-storey home offers two private, art-filled retreats: a cosy ground-floor studio and a bright one-bedroom apartment above. Each has its own entrance, leafy balcony, and bold interiors with exposed brick and vintage flair. Surrounded by cafés, bakeries and parks, it's a stylish base to explore Sydney’s Inner West—perfect for relaxing, recharging or simply enjoying local living. The space Tucked away along a quiet rear laneway, this artfully designed duplex offers two fully self-contained stays, each with its own private entrance and unique personality—ideal for couples, solo travellers or friends who value both style and privacy. The ground-floor studio, known as Blue Willow, opens to a space where exposed brick walls, eclectic textures and playful art create a welcoming charm. The open layout includes a comfy queen bed positioned to catch the morning light, a compact kitchenette with everything you need for simple meals—stovetop, mini fridge, microwave, toaster, and kettle—and a small dining nook that doubles as a quiet workspace. Step through sliding doors to your private outdoor patio—a leafy pocket for slow mornings or evening wine. The ensuite bathroom features a walk-in shower, vanity and locally sourced toiletries. With smart use of space, hangers are neatly tucked under overhead cabinets, and a wall-mounted TV offers relaxed viewing from bed. Upstairs, via a private exterior staircase, Jade View offers a one-bedroom apartment filled with light, art and vintage soul. Inside, you’re greeted by rich textures, velvet armchairs, a dark green Chesterfield, and floral prints. The kitchenette is equipped for light cooking, featuring a SMEG toaster, oven, full fridge, and French press. Enjoy your meals at the four-seater dining table, or step out to the sunny private balcony with its leafy outlook—perfect for coffee or golden hour drinks. The bedroom is a retreat of its own: a king-size bed sits beneath bold artwork, with soft curtains, a ceiling fan, and a cosy reading nook. The bathroom on this level has a rainfall shower and complimentary toiletries, offering both function and comfort. Both spaces include access to a shared laundry with a free washer and dryer, and are kept comfortable year-round with central heating, air conditioning, and ceiling fans. While there’s no on-site parking, Petersham Station is just a two-minute walk away, connecting you effortlessly to the rest of Sydney.
