27 Isabella Street, Queens Park NSW 2022

The inspired architect-designed reinvention of one of Queens Park's few remaining sandstone cottages has created a luxurious parkside sanctuary just around the corner from Bronte Road's cafe strip and a 350m stroll down to the park. Built c1880, the sandstone beauty reveals a seamless fusion of heritage architecture and cutting-edge design with a private landscaped entertainer's courtyard conceived as an alfresco living room. The rough-hewn form of the exposed sandstone walls brings warmth into the interiors and serve as a perfect complement to the Carrara marble finishes and reclaimed hardwood floors. Set on a pretty one-way street 600m to Westfield's retail hub, the two storey home is a short walk to Centennial Park with close proximity to Bondi and Bronte Beaches.
