5 Albert Square, Paddington, NSW 2021

While honouring a historic home’s authentic charm, this c1890 terrace has undergone a high-end renovation that skilfully weaves the past with a contemporary narrative that injects a sense of joy and vitality into the home. Newly rebuilt from the ground up by award-winning builder Benja Build, the two-storey home’s interiors have been peeled back and reinvented to mark a new style chapter without sacrificing its significant heritage features. One of a handful of homes in a boutique cul-de-sac just 100m to William Street’s fashion hub, the three-bedroom home has been designed around a suntrap internal courtyard with an imaginative layout that balances aesthetic appeal with high-end functionality. Facing north-east, the three-bedroom home features a luxurious private master wing and wide northerly views from a traditional iron lace balcony. A true one-of-a-kind, this is a home that has been crafted to last another century and offer every creature comfort just 250m to Oxford Street and 500m to Five Ways.
