The masterful transformation of this 1890s Victorian terrace strikes a perfect chord between historic charm and contemporary design to create a tranquil and remarkably spacious family haven on the edge of Frenchmans Road village. On a deep block with an idyllic north-facing garden and dual street frontage, the tri-level terrace has been designed to embrace an alfresco lounge and a lush garden oasis shaded by a magnificent Magnolia that's a riot of colour during the cooler months and provides shelter from the heat in summer. The focus of the redesign highlights functionality, light and an honest expression of materials with timbers and bricks salvaged from the site and repurposed to preserve the home's history and sense of place. The result is a warm and inviting family home with a flexible layout crowned with a lofty attic retreat capturing rare dual perspectives from its elevated vantage point affording views to the city in one direction and the ocean in the other. Just down from Randwick Public School, 900m to Queens and Centennial Parks, this is a perfect spot for families just minutes to Randwick town centre and surf beaches.
