An ode to rustic minimalism in Queen’s Park, this four-bedroom family home for sale presents a fusion of organic textures and earthy tones. The house unveils a nature-inspired aesthetic beyond its Edwardian façade with North African design influences blending rich colours with reclaimed materials. A spacious reception room and bespoke stone fireplace create a captivating lounge area, leading to an open-plan kitchen and dining space. Tactile elements like reclaimed wood and Arabescato marble define the kitchen and bar. Skylights and a glass wall infuse the lower level with natural light. The garden features an urban landscape with a garden room, while upstairs, a serene principal suite and three bedrooms offer comfort. A rustic cinema room on the lower ground floor adds cozy charm.

Chevening Road is for sale via Domus Nova.

The owners found a “perfect” One big problem … it lacked personality. Enter Sydney-based design studio Esoteriko who revived it with targeted interventions such as new joinery, a fireplace and staircase, along with art curation, lighting, custom rugs, furniture, and window treatments. They connected indoor spaces to the garden, redesigned the kitchen’s double-height volume and added a delicate balustrade to the concrete stairs and custom brass pendants.

“It was important that there was not one overpowering genre or style, rather that new and old could sit comfortably together, alongside new material elements and the ‘bones’ of the house, expansive grey limestone. The decorative elements needed to create a sense of warmth and comfort that expands outdoors.”

The Atelier Davis team re-thought a contemporary home with creek views infusing it with colour and personality. With a mix of vintage and new the look is a little boho and a lot casual chic. Richly coloured rugs add warmth and texture while bamboo blinds skim the views. The added bonus is a self-contained pad emphasising functionality and fun in a small space.

Old world vibes, but make it a mix of worlds in this circa 1982 home in Charleston designed by Alecia Stevens. It’s eclectic from another time, with antiques that are European, Asian, British, Middle Eastern and everything in between. I really love this, and that every piece seems to tell a story and all together they tell quite a beautiful story. Photos: Kirk Robert.

Restoring a 1970s heritage semi, this sweeping renovation honours its original character while modernizing it for multi-generational living. Once the Sydney home of architect Sir Roy Grounds, the three-storey structure underwent a transformation, retaining its concrete integrity while optimizing space. Rationalized floorplans added living areas and new bedrooms within the original footprint. Glass doors connect the middle level to a garden balcony, enhancing views and airflow. An apartment above the garage adds privacy and secondary accommodation. The re-engineered structure now boasts improved comfort and sustainability, with touches like sliding glass doors, built-in furnishings, and a palette echoing its 70s origins.
