A spectacular two-storey Victorian homestead at 75 John Street in Camden with a rich local agricultural history and a stunning renovation is now on the market.
It was built in the 1880s on behalf of John Macarthur, an influential figure in the colonisation of New South Wales and famous as a pioneer of the wool industry, bringing the first Merino sheep to Australia.
This property is perhaps best known locally as the property owned by Dr R.B. Crookston, who lived there from 1913 and later became the Mayor of Camden from 1932-1934.
Today, after a head-to-toe renovation, the 2,536 square metre property is the perfect mix of history and style.
Here are five things we’ve learnt from the renovation
1. Mirror tiling
The reflective splashback in the Hamptons-style kitchen adds a modern edge to the classic space.
2. Ample storage
The former stables have been converted into a double garage and storage room.
3. French Doors
With a stunning garden at the center of the property, the french doors open up the space to make the living room feel expansive and perfect for entertaining.
4. Patterned wallpaper
The elegant patterned wallpapers hark back to the homestead’s traditional roots without looking dated.
5. Assorted statement lighting
Adorned with their own signature lighting fixtures and chandeliers, each room has its own aesthetic. While they vary, the green features throughout the home keep the styling cohesive.
