Not only do they need to have a lot of effective, the couple is sold under the same title for $ 5.9 million, they must also be comfortable with the compact garden and the outdoor staircase.
But for the right buyer, the double spicy double terrace on 9th and 9th Street, Millers Point is a great score: a portion of Sydney’s story, a knockout renewal, seen to the port and an impressive location in the city.
These two residences, each with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and separate life and dining areas, pleading as public homes owned by the Maritime Services Board in the first decade of the twentieth century. The terraces were aimed at improving the living conditions for those who work on the docks of the port.

The two workers of the workers in Coodye House also were part of the broader urban re -urban impulse of the government after the 1900 bubonic plague outbreak. The State clung to the terraces until it listed them as individual titles in a sale of public homes in 2016.
Bill Marynissen and his wife Angela became the first private owners of the terrace for $ 3.44 million, with the intention of using the upper level as a city of Pied-à-terre and renting the lowest level to obtain additional income.
“He was quite arrested, but we loved it,” Bill said. “It has that historical feeling and is very close to the city and the rocks. We also like the flexibility of having two property properties.”

Marynissens renewed in 2019 and 2020, working with the architect of Virginia Kerridge and Weir Phillips Heritage. Coodye House is now almost unrecognizable since his early days, as well as his evolutionary waterfront suburb or Point Millers.
The residences now shine with aerodynamic kitchens with brass finishes with voice, recycled pubtt floors, exposed bricks, restored chimneys and echlectic colorful bath tiles.

The vibrant color and modern crafts along with the details of the cents, the details of Coodeye House acknowledged as a finalist in the National Trust Heritage Awards in 2021.
“We point to a juxtaposition of the old and the new,” said Bill. “We have infused a modern and eclectic sensation with playful colors. From the outside, what is inside is quite surprising.”
And despite the location of the city center, there is an impressive outdoor space. The ground floor opens to a landscape garden courtyard, while the upper level has a private ramp terrace and a terrace overlooking Balmain.

Marynissens also added a private bathroom at each level, unusual for the properties of that time, and separated public services, relieving the potential division and strata in the future.
Agent Francis Egan in Sydney Sotheby’s Double Bay describes renewal as “exceptional.”
“There is a wide personalized carpentry, personalized metal and a high -end finish. The owners have put so much emotion, care and expenditure on the property.”

But Mr. Egan admits that the property is not for everyone, which causes a review of the original price guide of $ 6.8 million.
“The profile of the future owner is quite unique. We have seen interests to investors, multigenenerational and retired families who wish to reduce size while earning rental income; these duplex would cost for $ 1,600-1,800 per week,” he said.

“But because access to the higher level is accessed through an external staircase, it strands the family segment of the market.”
Coodye House is only 20 meters from the historical stairs that lead to Barangaroo restaurants, crown towers and parks in front of the sea, and is a few rocks, Walsh Bay Theater District, Dawes Point, Barangaroo and King Street Wharf.

The Marynissens say that the location will be lost, but with Bill retired and the couple that spends more time on the southern coast of NSW, they are selling.
“We loved its position in a historical area but so close to the comfort of the city,” Bill said. “Approximately time we have come to love from the terrace of the ceiling to the Barangaroo towers.”
The property goes to the auction on Monday, June 2 at 5.30 pm
