Inside a stylish Paddington renovation, plus two more listings worth seeing this weekend

To turn heads on the competitive Sydney property market, a home often needs a certain oomph when it comes to design. 

These three homes, each of which are open for inspection this weekend, have style and class in spades.

Paddington

$2.65 million

Paddington is widely known as a hot spot for designer pubs, glamorous eateries and boutique shopping, and 22 Cascade Street is certainly a fashionable buy. 

The terrace has been faithfully maintained, featuring high ceilings with understated pendant lights, a functioning cast-iron fireplace in the living area and an antique stove in the dining room, which makes for a fun showpiece.

The interiors have been painted a crisp white, giving the property a youthful look. There’s council approval for a fourth bedroom, but you could opt for a study, private retreat, or perhaps a yoga studio instead.

The home is nestled in a quiet pocket, but a short stroll takes you to Five Ways and Oxford Street, where you can take your pick of hatted restaurants like Saint Peter.

This elegant art deco spread at 1/57 Eurobin Avenue is positioned on a lush oasis, backing directly onto parklands and Manly Lagoon, and just a few minutes’ walk from Manly Beach.

The interiors are understated and light, with an Escea gas fireplace in the living room, plantation shutters adorning several windows and handsome timber flooring throughout.

It’ll go to auction on April 7 through Stone Real Estate’s Adam Moore.

Woollahra

$3.2 million

The owners of this Victorian-era property at 19 Roslyndale Avenue were not afraid to add bold contemporary elements to the home’s aesthetic.

Original features, including a travertine forecourt and wrought-iron intricacies on the facade, are a lovely reminder of early 1900s architecture, but the double-height extension at the rear and the swish kitchen with a marble splashback are unapologetically current.
