305 Edgecliff Rd, Woollahra NSW 2025, Australia

Home of world-renowned fashion designer Camilla Franks, Villa Camilla has been conceived as a private sanctuary secluded behind an elegant gated forecourt on a private 455sqm approx parcel of land. Built in the late 19th century, the freestanding double-fronted residence embodies the bohemian luxe aesthetic for which her brand is synonymous with her signature artistic fusion of colour, texture and pattern bringing a sense of wonder and whimsy. Exotic floral and tribal wallpaper create a sense of theatre and bring a new identity to each room with a choice of living spaces and a private backyard escape inspired by the laidback vibe of the iconic Mykonos beach club Scorpios with panoramic valley views as an idyllic backdrop. Courageous colour choices and bejewelled finishes create a perfect counterpoint to the home’s original marble fireplaces and pressed metal ceilings for a look that is maximalism at its best. A celebration of art and craftsmanship that’s like being transported to another world, the five-bedroom home is perfect for entertaining on both an intimate and grand scale and features a glamorous master suite, a saltwater pool and triple parking with internal access to an oversized lock-up garage. In the catchment for Woollahra Public School, this is a home like no other between the city and beaches and just 700m to Queen Street’s cafe society in one direction and Cooper Park in the other.
