Sunrise star's $2 million reno project up for grabs

Sunrise star Edwina Bartholomew’s luxury $2 million home is up for sale.

The channel 7 TV presenter has owned the remarkable three-bedroom Dulwich Hill home in Sydney’s inner west for six years and has renovated the historic brick property in that time.

“A superbly renovated historic home in one of the Inner West’s most desirable locations,” the marketing collateral for the home reads.

“Architecturally designed interiors are complemented by beautiful landscaping front and back, including a glasshouse-style terrace for entertaining. A storybook home of finely crafted luxury.”

The two-bathroom home sits on 221sqm and has been valued at $2 million.

The median house price for properties in Dulwich Hill sits around $1.855 million, down 4.1 per cent over the past year.

According to property records, Bartholomew paid $1.59 million for the house in March 2017.

Since purchasing the property, she has done some major renovations to spruce up the home, which is one of the oldest properties in the suburb, for a more contemporary lifestyle.

“Our dog ran through the back door at one point chasing a possum, so we had cardboard and gaffa tape holding it together for a bit. It’s much nicer now,” Bartholomew told The Design Files.

“I’ve loved sitting in the study at the front reading a book with the big bay window, or playing up on the terrace with the kids.

“We love that we have not only renovated a house, but resurrected a house to last for another century, and countless other families.”

The home is scheduled for auction on March 18.

Bartholomew is now planning another renovation project in hopes of turning a rural guesthouse into a boutique hotel.
