No. 36 Little Comber Street, in Sydney’s Paddington, may look small, but behind the picture-perfect facade is a home that’s far more generous and imaginative than first impressions suggest.
Its striking royal blue exterior, complemented by a yellow door and a red post box, reflects a thoughtful design aesthetic that carries through to the interior.
“It has amazing street appeal,” says McGrath listing agent Mitch Ladas. “It’s so quirky and fabulous.”

The three-story terrace offers layered living, with “each level designed as a distinct zone”.
On the entrance floor, a dining area flows into a kitchen with cabinetry that echoes the blue exterior. A red spiral staircase connects the three levels.

Two bedrooms, one with an en suite and the other with a Juliet balcony, are upstairs. The lower ground floor has a laundry, a living area and access to the recently transformed backyard.
“The most impressive thing about the home is the backyard,” Ladas says. “It’s a decent block of land by Paddington standards.”
The north-facing garden was a major drawcard for the current owners in 2022, recognising the potential to improve the home beyond its recent renovation. They added a pergola and have celebrated many birthday parties and occasions there, Ladas explains.

In addition to the backyard, the Paddington position is attracting potential buyers. “It’s located between Oxford Street, Rushcutters Bay Park and St Vincent’s Hospital, and everything else worth living in Sydney for,” Ladas says.
“We’ve had people from all over the country inquire … mainly from couples and a few investors.”

There are DA-approved plans to extend and renovate the house further.
The property is scheduled to go to auction on December 13, with a price guide of $1.8 million.
