What We Love
A streamlined interior evokes Japanese serenity throughout this restful 2-bedroom Paddington home, the perfect escape for your next vacation. Influenced by the principles of Oku, layers of this home are peeled back to reveal a sanctuary of peace elegance and natural materials, providing the ideal location for your next escape.
Impeccably designed to make the most of the natural light streaming into this home, the ground floor welcomes you to relax in this serene and sheltered modern retreat. An internal courtyard garden at the heart of this home connects you to nature (as well as doubling up as the perfect spot for a morning coffee). The interior is enriched through warm timber and a layered approach to finishes, conjuring a wabi-sabi restfulness to this architectural home. The ground floor is a truly restful escape from the outside world, enclosing a cinema-like media room, adorned with statement seating, and a boasting a study area. Ascending to the middle floor, you can admire the hug-like timber roof, guiding you seamlessly from space to space, whether you’re brunching on the bench seating surrounding the sleek teak dining table, or cosying up in front of the statement suspended fireplace on the comfy red settee. You also have access to a second private outdoor space - an inside-out dining and entertaining terrace with city skyline views, complete with a shaded dining area.
The tranquil interior continues into this designer home's private spaces, which boast a master suite, perfect for a restorative weekend (or longer!) away. The master floats above this home on its private top floor, inviting you to recline on a pillowy King bed, gentle ceiling fans and a private ensuite. On the middle floor, the second bedroom is equally inviting, offering quiet desk space if you need it.
Whether you’re taking a holiday or staying to work away from home, you’ll be sure to fall in love with Paddo, one of Sydney’s most desirable suburbs. A heritage village dotted with boutique stores and hemmed by rows of Victorian-era houses, the streets combine old-world influences with a modern flair. You’re just a short walk from Centennial Park, well worth exploring with a picnic to discover the beautiful fauna and flora that abounds here. Or if you’re looking for a more upmarket bite to eat, check out ‘Love Supreme’ a popular restaurant serving Pizza that’s good enough to get emotional about. A short car journey or bus ride will bring you to the stunning coastal strip where you’ll find Bondi, Tamarama, and Bronte—or set off on the stunning Bondi to Coogee coastal walk and enjoy them all!

The Neighbourhood

- Explore the rest of Sydney from this ideal base. Paddington is just three kilometres east of the Sydney CBD.
