2 Rush St, Woollahra NSW 2025, Australia
The innovative transformation of one of Woollahra’s signature Victorian terraces by acclaimed architect John Normyle has brought a bold new dimension to a Victorian classic tucked away on the edge of Queen Street village. Holding a prized end-of-row position, the reimagined c1890 terrace is the ultimate expression of the past and the future intersecting in the present on a sunny corner block with a north to rear aspect bathing the interiors in natural light. The material palette of timber, glass, steel and marble is robust yet timeless while high-spec finishes and cutting-edge technology ensures optimal comfort complete with a Tesla power wall in the garage accessed via Brittania Lane. Spread over two levels with a lofty attic retreat or study zone, the upper floor extension has been conceived as a lightbox with an automated retractable roof and views over the heritage streetscapes that are distinctly Woollahra. The smart separation and utilisation of space enables three living areas, each with total privacy from the other. With Maloneys Grocer at the end of the street and Bistro Moncur around the corner, the three-bedroom home offers a cosmopolitan lifestyle just 500m to the Paddington Gates to Centennial Park with easy access to the city and beaches.
