5 Chapel Street, Randwick.

Hidden behind an elegant Federation facade, this freestanding residence unfolds into a refined contemporary sanctuary designed to maximise light, privacy and connection to nature in a quiet pocket of Randwick North. To the rear, the living domain opens to a lush botanical oasis where a north-east aspect, complete privacy and integrated outdoor lighting create a magical atmosphere by night while drawing sunlight and fresh air deep into the home by day. A pavilion-style extension forms the social heart of the home, anchored by a high-spec kitchen with walls of glass that dissolve the boundary between indoors and out. This seamless connection to the tranquil gardens reinforces a sense of calm and creates a private retreat for everyday living and entertaining. The original front of the home retains its period charm with pressed metal ceilings, Kauri floorboards and marble fireplaces providing a rich counterpoint to the contemporary addition. Designed for flexibility, the upper level is devoted to a sanctuary-like master retreat while a formal lounge could be reconfigured as a fourth bedroom.
