1 Victoria Avenue, Woollahra

Clean geometric architecture and a restrained palette of materials are the design hallmarks of this cutting-edge designer residence in the exclusive heart of Woollahra village. Designed by celebrated architect Nick Tobias, the awarded home has been crafted to integrate with its heritage surrounds with a sloping zinc-clad mansard roof and full height vertical windows framing curated views of the surrounding landscape. Crowned with a luxurious parent's retreat and unique rooftop garden, the four-bedroom home is spread over three levels with internal access to a lock-up garage and a north facing courtyard that creates a seamless indoor/outdoor flow and draws natural light into the interiors. The heart of the home is grounded in a sleek entertainer's kitchen with a north facing deck while a central services pod defines the two living zones and a bank of linear cabinetry creates a link between the spaces. Occupying a private dual access corner block on the edge of Centennial Park, this glamorous low-maintenance entertainer is tucked away in leafy enclave just off Queen Street's cosmopolitan shopping village. 4 double bedrooms with built-in robes3 open to a private outdoor spacesLuxurious top floor master retreatRooftop garden set amid the treetopsPrivate walled entertainer's courtyardHuge living room with a sky windowDark floorboards, streamlined joineryCustom entertainer's island kitchenMiele appliances, Qasair rangehoodSunlit dining with a north facing deckSleek minimalist designer bathroomsGuest powder room, internal laundrySmart home technology, C Bus lightingMulti-zoned air, integrated sound systemFull height vertical windows/pivot doorsAuto lock-up garage (internal access)Interior Design Awards Shortlist 2007Woollahra Council Commendation AwardStroll to cafes, restaurants and galleries400m to Centennial Park Paddo GatesEasy access to beaches, 2.5km to the CBD
