The Art Haus—Retro-Chic Hideaway near Local Gems
Description
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. The laneway entrance offers an added sense of retreat—hidden in plain sight, yet just moments from the best cafés, bakeries, and restaurants the Inner West has to offer.
