One of the most unique and impressive four bedroom homes you’ll encounter in the inner city, this breathtaking tropical sanctuary will delight and inspire.

The innovatively rebuilt freestanding late 1800s home is privately nestled behind established palm gardens, water features and expansive terraces, creating a dramatic entrance and a superb setting for alfresco entertaining.

Discretely set on an unusually generous 306sqm approximate parcel of land, its interior designer owner has created a sophisticated haven reminiscent of a boutique hotel, complete with a mosaic tiled plunge spa and outdoor shower.

The main of its four bedrooms opens to a spacious office currently utilised as an opulent dressing room.

Finished with wide recycled timber floorboards, the free-flowing entertaining spaces are warmed by a gas fire, as is the cosy upstairs sitting room.

At the heart of the home, the stylish Miele gas kitchen is appointed with black Corian benchtops and custom-designed timber cabinetry.

A beautifully presented self-contained guesthouse is found above the double lock up garage, providing a wonderful retreat for visitors.

Additional features include marble bathrooms, a huge under-floor cellar, four concealed rainwater tanks for garden irrigation and an integrated gas barbeque.

One of Paddington’s rare finds.
