38 Ferry Road, Sydney, NSW, 2037, Australia

Behind its enigmatic facade, this stunning home is an architectural tour-de-force combining imagination, precision and liveability to create an utterly unique four-bedroom family home on one of Glebe’s best streets. Designed by acclaimed studio Chenchow Little and winner of the 2020 Wilkinson Award for Residential Architecture, the residence re-imagines the Victorian character of its neighbours through a disciplined exploration of parabolic arches, monumental windows and a restrained, textural palette, with smooth white surfaces, honeyed timbers and polished concrete floors. The result is a series of richly sculpted yet highly efficient spaces that move effortlessly from quiet retreat to exuberant celebration. Light pours through soaring inverted-arch windows that frame treetop outlooks by day and views of the glittering Anzac Bridge and city skyline by night. Subtle spatial divisions, sinuous curves, deep sills and custom American Oak joinery add both practicality and poetic delight to every surprising corner of this inimitable building. Perfectly positioned less than 300 metres from the light rail and Glebe Rowing Club, waterfront parklands and the vibrant café-and-culture hub of Glebe Point Road, the superb home offers enviable lifestyle convenience, with quality schools, boutique shopping, USYD and the CBD within easy reach. This is contemporary family living at its most considered: confident, luxurious yet refreshingly humble.
