With building costs spiralling and busy lifestyles leaving little time to oversee works, renovated homes make moving easy and we have a choice of beautiful residences in Paddington that are ready to move right in. Catherine Dixon and her team have listed some truly unique properties that have been reimagined to suit contemporary lifestyles and are infused with personality and panache. New to the market this week, 1 Duxford Street, Paddington is set on a sunny north-facing corner block just around the corner from Five Ways with rear lane access to a garden studio that’s ideal as a work-from-home space and could easily be reconfigured back into a lock-up garage.

On the other side of Glenmore Road, 14 Prospect Street, Paddington is an architecturally redesigned double-fronted 1830s cottage tucked away in a quiet laneway above The Intersection that’s open to the north and features rear lane access to a sunny landscaped courtyard with invaluable double parking.

William Hesketh says, “Both of these Paddington beauties offer the rare advantage of whole-floor living space, northerly aspects and rear lane access in the best spots in the village. Renovated to perfection, there’s nothing left to do except move in and enjoy a cosmopolitan lifestyle with everything from alfresco cafes and designer stores to cocktail bars and galleries within easy reach. And if you’re looking for an entry level apartment, you can’t go past 2/188 Glenmore Road, Paddington which is tucked away from view in a beautifully maintained Art Deco block. With the proportions of a two-bedroom apartment and direct access to an exclusive-use courtyard, the 70sqm approx apartment has undergone a creative renovation that strikes a perfect chord between Art Deco elegance and contemporary flair opposite RHW Park on the edge of Five Ways.”

Alexander Phillips and Vince Licata have an oversized two-bedroom apartment in the renowned Paddington Green complex that’s wrapped in a huge rooftop terrace with panoramic 180-degree views over the city skyline as a dazzling backdrop. In the heart of the village, 17/4 Young Street, Paddington offers over 100sqm of living space and level lift access to double garaging making it ideal for the professional buyer or downsizer. 

Paddington continues to be one of the most sought-after suburbs in the east with Team Dixon selling 49 Underwood Street, Paddington off-market to a database buyer following an unsuccessful campaign with another agency and Team Phillips selling 171 Hargrave Street, Paddington for well above the reserve after only five days on the market with 94 groups inspecting the property before it was snapped up!
