Exquisite Designer Living with Wonderful City Views
Situated in one of Paddington’s premier locations, this award winning home captures sweeping city views and offers a stunning, design-filled family sanctuary.The property is an artful collaboration between the owner, builder and interior and building design firm CG Design Studios - it has been meticulously crafted with a contemporary, mid-century aesthetic. The attention to detail throughout is immediately impressive; from the soaring void on entry to the strategically placed glazing and thoughtfully selected tiles and fixtures that inject colour and interest.
The open plan kitchen, dining and lounge room is at the rear - the ideal spot to gather with friends and family, while enjoying the wonderful city outlook. Honed concrete floors are practical and cool underfoot, while floor to ceiling sliding doors capture light, breezes and views. The kitchen boasts an impressive island bench, topped with marble sourced from Artedomus and Neff appliances including an induction cooktop and double ovens. The adjoining dining area has an integrated banquet seat, as does the sunken lounge – a chic conversation pit with a suspended fireplace for cooler months. Sliding doors retract to make this entire space feel like an indoor/outdoor room and an additional, external tiled terrace is perfect for alfresco entertaining.
A fully tiled swimming pool is tucked away in a central courtyard, easily visible from the kitchen. It can be accessed from the lower level, where there is another bright and airy casual living area. This is a beautiful space, with a seamless connection to the flat lawn and garden and it will be loved by family members of all ages, all year round. Stunning timber panelling cleverly conceals the entrance to a bathroom and sauna. There is also a large bedroom and office on this level.
There are two bedrooms on the main level, both with built-in cupboards. They share the family bathroom and there is a separate powder room. The bathrooms were not overlooked when it comes to design and they all feature custom cabinetry, exquisite fixtures and bursts of colour. Luxurious wool carpeted stairs lead to the top level, where the Master suite is privately positioned. This is a real retreat and feels like a high-end hotel; there is a spacious walk-in robe, an ensuite with freestanding bath and a breathtaking outlook across the city skyline.
The home has carefully considered car accommodation – a double carport is fitted with a hydraulic lift, lowering a vehicle into the huge, secure garage, where there’s space for additional cars, toys, even a boat. It’s a clever solution to inner city parking needs.
The property features a long list of creature comforts. There’s ducted air-conditioning throughout, integrated sound, solar and security. It has also won a slew of awards including top accolades from the Housing Industry Association for Residential Design and for Green, Smart, Sustainable Home.
The location is enviable and highly prized for the lifestyle it offers; stroll to the restaurants, bars and cafes of Paddington’s vibrant Latrobe Terrace. There are bus stops and numerous quality schools within easy reach and it’s an easy trip to the CBD.
What was an original worker’s cottage has been completely transformed, yet sits comfortably in the streetscape. It has been created with a deep appreciation for design - every moment has been carefully considered, to deliver a home that is so easy to live in and to love. Do not delay an inspection.
