14 Stephen St, Bondi NSW 2026, Australia
A creative redesign by architect Nadine Nakache pays homage to the original fabric of this Federation semi while creating a sun-filled contemporary haven that celebrates outdoor living and family life in a leafy pocket of Bondi. At the top of a wide cul-de-sac and around the corner from South Bondi village, the two-storey home’s creative pavilion-style extension links the old with the new and creates a close connection with the lush greenery of the north-facing garden while an upper level retreat with a home office and chillout lounge has been designed as a teenager’s retreat or media zone. A classic cottage frontage and tessellated tile verandah make a welcoming first impression but it’s the lofty open living space with its soaring ceilings and walls of glass flooding the space in sunshine that brings the wow factor. Period details sit alongside custom finishes to make a wonderful liveable family home in a quiet neighbourhood with no through-traffic, plentiful parking for residents and a child-friendly pocket park at the doorstep. It’s in a perfect spot for families, away from the crowds but within easy reach of three of Sydney’s top surf beaches.
