An inspired architect-designed renovation has transformed this c1870 Victorian terrace into a striking contemporary home in a quiet cul-de-sac setting in the historic heart of Little Paddington. A pared back palette of American Oak, glass and steel lends a stylish industrial feel to the streamlined interiors with whole-floor living space opening out to a landscaped entertainer's courtyard. Exposed brickwork adds warmth and texture while considered attention to detail features extensive built-in storage, ambient lighting schemes and ducted air for year-round comfort. The upper levels feature two private double bedrooms, the sunlit main anchored by a feature fireplace, and the lofty attic retreat capturing leafy views over the heritage rooftops from a charming dormer window while a lower level study is the perfect work-from-home space. Just one street back from Oxford Street at the city end of one of Sydney's most fashionable suburbs, this connected city fringe location is just 2km to the CBD and footsteps to a world of art, fashion and entertainment.
