This three storey Victorian terrace in Sydney’s Darlinghurst has been transformed into a cutting-edge city home, with a 3 bedroom main residence plus a private 1 bed apartment.

Agent Julian Hasemer of 1st City Real Estate Double Bay told WILLIAMS MEDIA, “This wide fronted Victorian Terrace home has been completely reinvented, behind the 19th century façade is an avant-garde makeover incorporating a dramatic aluminium exterior staircase – this home is a piece of art that can be lived in.”

Also known as Davis House, the property has been featured in 100 Amazing Sydney Homes and other design journals.

Describing the property’s transformation from Victorian terrace house to urbane, modern apartment, renowned architect Ian Moore of ian moore architects says "The existing house highlighted some of the shortcomings of the Victorian era terrace house type...The primary concept was to reorient the house to the rear of the site and to invert the original arrangement, with the living spaces moving to the upper level.”

Featuring a striking steel spiral stair that connects the garden and triple garage to the rooftop entertainer’s deck, the rear of the residence takes in panoramic views stretching from St Vincent’s Hospital in the south to Edgecliff in the east.

The property’s light-filled interiors showcase Ian Moore’s signature aesthetic with streamlined finishes, double-height ceilings and a mezzanine level retreat.

The home is set on a leafy one-way avenue between Victoria Street’s dining hub and Rushcutters Bay; a short stroll to celebrated dining, entertainment and cultural hubs and minutes to the CBD.
