Buyer's Guide $3.9m

A carefully considered reinvention by Nick Bell Architects has transformed this 1880s terrace into a layered expression of contemporary family life. Recreated from the ground up with interiors by Parker Studio, the 5.7m-wide residence holds the prized north-east corner of a distinguished pair in the historic Waterview Estate. Behind its two-storey facade, the artfully composed design unfolds across four levels revealing five bedrooms including a self-contained accommodation that can function independently or connect with the main residence. Sandstone grounds the architecture in place, while Tasmanian Oak, leathered stone and terrazzo create a rich, tactile material language. Bathed in northern light, a whole-floor living domain incorporates a high-spec Super White Dolomite island kitchen, balancing openness with a sense of privacy and strong in/outdoor connection. Three bedrooms, including a serene master suite, are spread across one level, with a fourth bedroom and study above. To the rear, a landscaped north-facing garden with sunny lawn, bbq terrace and Finnish sauna forms a private retreat with private driveway access to St Andrews Street.
