84 Paddington Street, Paddington, NSW, 2021, Australia

The innovative redesign of this grand Italianate style terrace has transformed the wide-fronted Victorian classic into a glamorous contemporary residence in the dress-circle heart of Paddington between Five Ways and Woollahra village. Designed by MCK Architects, the three-storey home has been crafted to take full advantage of a north-east rear aspect with walls of glass bathing interiors in sunshine and capturing panoramic views over the city and Harbour Bridge from the top floor master retreat. An imaginative glazed breezeway extends the footprint of the home creating a dynamic interplay of light and space with the entire ground floor devoted to living and entertaining with a north-facing garden as a seamless extension of the interiors. Perfect for entertaining with plenty of space to relax and play in the sunshine, a magnificent ancient Spotted Gum tree stands sentinel over the backyard. Just 300m to Paddington Alimentari and William Street's fashion hub, the five-bedroom home features a sunny self-contained studio with private access above the triple lock-up garage ideal for guest or au pair accommodation or as a home office.
