36 St James Road, Bondi Junction NSW 2022

The creative transformation of an early Victorian cottage strikes a perfect chord between historic charm and sustainable contemporary design in a leafy parkside enclave on the edge of Bondi Junction's retail hub. Recreated by Anderson Architecture to harness northerly sunshine and maximise space and airflow, the two-storey home is set opposite child-friendly St James Reserve with leafy vistas from the upper level giving it an urban treehouse feel. Recycled timber and brickwork adds warmth and texture to the interiors while innovative storage solutions and breakout spaces create a home that's incredibly liveable while treading lightly on the environment. • Reinvented treasure c1895, Flemish Renaissance style frontage • 3 large bedrooms with built-ins and 2 contemporary bathrooms • Light-filled living room, internal breezeway and floating staircase • Bright Caesarstone gas kitchen, sun-drenched living and dining • Custom linen-covered day beds, exposed beams, louvre windows • Imported French window and bathroom hardware • Private jasmine-framed courtyard garden, hot-water outdoor shower • BBQ fitting on town gas, large attic and integrated storage • Natural materials and finishes, non-toxic interior paint • Original pine floorboards downstairs, blackbutt floors upstairs and window joinery throughout • Blackbutt built-in joinery in living spaces and master bedroom • French windows with views over the park • Foxtel cabled in living room and master bedroom • DA approval for Bi-Fold doors on kitchen north wall • Woollahra Public School catchment, footsteps to Centennial Park • Featured in Green Magazine 2012 and SMH Domain Front Cover May 2012
