An inspired reinvention by an award-winning architect has transformed this grand 1890s Victorian terrace into a sophisticated contemporary home. Designed to take full advantage of a perfect north to rear aspect, it opens to a suntrap entertaining courtyard and an enchanting urban rooftop garden. Minimalist interiors and clean lines create an uplifting sense of space while innovative design elements, high-end finishes and custom joinery create a mood of laidback luxury. Set in an exclusive cul-de-sac enclave close to Five Ways cafs and sought-after schools, it’s a short walk to Rushcutters Bay Park and Victoria Street’s dining hub.
Rebuilt from the ground up, it spans three levels with a flexible layout incorporating three luxurious bedrooms all with a designer mosaic-tiled ensuite plus a fourth bedroom ideal as an office, TV lounge or library. Expansive open living space features a chic industrial-inspired flavour with concrete floors and full height steel-framed doors opening to a tranquil Zen-style entertaining courtyard. A custom-designed chef’s grade stainless steel gas kitchen is perfect for entertaining and features European appliances.
As well as rear access via Glenview Lane to double garaging, this private Paddington haven also features a master suite with tree-framed balcony, north facing roof deck, guest powder room, Japanese soaking tub, plantation shutters, ducted air, underfloor heating, Jetmaster fireplace, custom cabinetry, plush new carpeting, designer lighting schemes and Louis Poulsen pendants.
