44 Norfolk Street, Paddington, NSW 2021

While honouring a historic home’s lovely bones, the interiors of this Victorian terrace have been peeled back and reinvented to mark a new style chapter for a Paddington classic on a sunny corner block just up from Five Ways. A collaboration between SE DÉA and Robert Plumb Fix has delivered a soul-soothing oasis of calm with inspiring interiors that reference the romance of the Mediterranean and the Greek Islands. Freestanding to the north, the end-of-row 1890s terrace has been rebuilt from the ground up with every detail carefully considered to maximise space and liveability while celebrating togetherness and artisan craftsmanship. Bathed in sunshine and fabulously feel-good, the three-storey home’s peachy tones blend with finishes in brass, terrazzo and oak and echo the sunset vista from the florist’s garden. This is a village retreat full of life and vitality in a tightly held neighbourhood, 150m to Glenmore Road Public School and 350m to the cafes and bars at Five Ways.
