The creative transformation of this c1890 terrace pays homage to the past while marking a new style chapter for the Victorian classic in a landmark row on the edge of Charing Cross village. Recreated to bring in the northerly sunshine, the renovation retains the historic home's authentic soul with an honest expression of materials and a pared back palette of oak, brick and brushed brass. Perfect for entertaining, a custom kitchen forms the social heart of the home with bi-fold doors opening outdoors while an unexpectedly deep garden has been conceived as a lush private escape. Both bedrooms are on the upper level, the main with a fireplace and classic iron lace balcony, while the second opens to a sunny rooftop deck that's a perfect spot for a morning coffee or evening cocktail. Just up from St Catherine's School and within easy reach of Clovelly and Bronte Beaches, this friendly village pocket is footsteps to local favourites including Bellagio, The Walrus and Bronte Road Bistro and 200m to Queens Park's playing fields and cycleways.
