Picture Perfect
The historic property in Sydney’s popular Dulwich Hill reads something of a fairytale from the very front door. With its gingerbread facade, colourful leadlight windows and glasshouse-style roof terrace, there are wonders to be found throughout the meticulously restored and sensitively updated home.
The three-bedroom home has been redesigned by architecture and interior design practice, Studio Esteta, built by Wynn Build, and comfortably furnished with Kate Nixon. A clever study nook has been squeezed under the staircase, while the formal living room at the front of the home has been splashed with a rich, royal blue. A low-maintenance planted courtyard, designed by Garden Life and installed by Custom Creations Landscape, runs almost the length of the property and lends to indoor-outdoor entertaining. At the back of the property, a black spiral staircase swirls up towards an atrium-like rooftop garden on the second floor.
Sunrise presenter Edwina Bartholomew and her family only came across their Dulwich Hill home thanks to the neighbourhood’s reputation for being one of Sydney’s friendliest streets.
