12 Kenilworth Street

Bondi Junction NSW 2022

Within the historical framework of this freestanding Federation beauty lies a light-filled contemporary abode defined by its meticulous design, curated interiors and restrained material palette that evoke a feeling of understated luxury. On the northern side of a wide tree-lined street where homes rarely trade, the two-storey home has undergone a creative redesign that brings in the sunshine with a remarkably spacious layout conceived for contemporary family living. A calm monochrome palette, textured finishes and soaring ceilings elevate the interiors while a choice of living areas, sun-filled parents' retreat and a self-contained studio are designed to respond to the changing patterns of family life. Instantly welcoming with a parterre garden forecourt and wide gabled facade, the design integrates the original heritage features with a striking double-volume rear pavilion that spills out to a private north-facing garden framed by a lemon vine bringing a taste of Amalfi. Part of a family friendly neighbourhood on the beach side of Bondi Junction, this is a perfect spot for families just 300m to Waverley Park and 600m to Westfield with great schools and childcare centres all around.
