Art meets architecture in this freestanding 1920s Californian bungalow, reimagined into a deeply private family sanctuary in one of Queens Park's most tightly held enclaves. One of only a handful of homes tucked away at the end of a boutique cul-de-sac, the three-level residence is cocooned in greenery with a lush north-facing garden and internal access to garaging enhancing its sense of retreat. Recreated by architect Edward Szewczyk, with design references to Richard Meier and Mondrian, the four-bedroom home achieves a striking asymmetrical harmony. Geometric lines, bold colour moments and a masterful use of light create a sequence of carefully composed spaces, where vistas unfold and moods shift as you move through the home. At once expressive and highly liveable, it's a layered, atmospheric world that's nostalgic yet contemporary and designed for family life, creativity and calm. Footsteps to the park grounds, the home enjoys laneway access to Bondi Junction, Westfield and the station, with top schools, Bronte Road cafes and Centennial Park all within walking distance.
