40 Ruthven Street, Bondi Junction, NSW, 2022, Australia

Eclectic design features and the clever manipulation of light has transformed this Victorian terrace into a bright and breezy contemporary home with an upbeat atmosphere and a choice of inviting alfresco living spaces. Built in 1893 as part of the Westgate Terrace row, the two storey home's creative architect redesign harnesses northerly sunshine through an internal roof deck on the upper level and a bank of casement windows on the lower level that frame tranquil views over the gorgeous garden. In the Woollahra Public School catchment, the three-bedroom terrace is set at the top end of the street between Centennial Park and Westfield, a stone's throw to St James Reserve and 100m to Oxford Street's foodie hub.
