5 Searle Ave, Randwick NSW 2031, Australia

In a leafy neighbourhood enclave on the edge of Frenchmans Road village, this Federation cottage makes a welcoming first impression with its gorgeous native gardens and quintessential good looks but it’s the lush garden oasis and tastefully renovated interiors that make the house a home. Freestanding to the north, the two-storey home has been opened out and extended to embrace the outdoors and bring in the sunshine with a family focused layout featuring a choice of living areas and a multi-purpose loft retreat ideal as a home office or playroom. A sun-filled living pavilion and designer kitchen serve as the social heart of the home with walls of glass for a seamless flow to the lush garden with a wraparound deck and grape-vine arbour creating a perfect setting for romantic Tuscan-style dining as well as providing shade during the summer months. Set on a quiet avenue, the four-bedroom home is footsteps to Frenchmans Road’s artisan bakeries, cafes and grocery stores and 550m to Queens Park with Bieler Park adventure playground at the end of the street.
