The home at 35 Windsor St, Paddington is considered a ‘tardis’ for its innovative architectural details that open up and maximise its space to expansive dimensions.
The 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home with double garage at 35 Windsor Street was truly a unique find in the heart of Paddington.
Owner David Anstee, marketer and start-up guy, is selling his Paddington tardis after six and a half years through Ray White Double Bay agent Kim Hayes.
“I've lived in Paddington off and on for over 30 years - in some beautiful houses including a RAIA best residence.” Mr Anstee said.
“When I inspected this house I already knew the Windsor St cul- de- sac was possibly Paddington's quietest and most sought after.
“And when I saw it opened up like the tardis to spacious and unusually light living all on one level, I was sold.
“And when I realised it had a working art studio and double garage , I knew I'd to have it.
“I've loved this house because of its location, surrounded by restaurants and cafes along with easy and spacious living rarely afforded by larger Paddington houses.”
Regular visitors such as local artists like Gria Shead, whose works adorn the house, find the etching press in the studio irresistible.
The home first sold in 1988 for $275,000.
In October 2010 it traded for $2.1 million and with recent refurbishments, current interest is in the range of $3.5 million.
This home has exceptionally large living areas wrap around with a formal parterre garden and a functioning art studio or office with parking for up to two cars.
Ray White Double Bay agent Kim Hayes said this property has got to be seen to be believed.
“This is the era of the emptynesters and small families and they will love this home as it offers all those elusive qualities that are not often found in Paddington Homes such as level living spaces with lots of space, light and double garaging,” Ms Hayes said.
Having recently undergone extensive refurbishments it offers unusually generous and light living spaces.
Embracing everything that Paddington has to offer in one of the most iconic streets in the area, the exclusive address provides a tranquil private setting for this partially freestanding terrace.
The home is only a short walk to 5-ways, Oxford Street, parklands and transport.
Guide $3.5M.
