197 St Johns Road Forest Lodge, NSW 2037

Standing tall and proud on a private elevated dual access block, this grand 1890s terrace shines bright as a glamorous urban haven designed by William Smart of Smart Design Studio. While honouring the historic home's refined craftsmanship, interiors were peeled back and updated to mark a new style chapter that links the old with the new via a sun-filled renovation designed to create a seamless transition between indoors and out. Spread over three levels, the 6m wide home's pared back interiors, streamlined joinery and high-end finishes achieve a polished contemporary feel with an elegant monochrome palette that delivers a sense of cohesion throughout. Entertaining is a dream with a state-of-the-art kitchen and casual living area opening out to a private vine-framed courtyard with a big sky outlook that's perfect for enjoying magical sunsets. Set behind a landscaped garden with level access to double parking, the four-bedroom home is positioned at the cul-de-sac end of the street just up from a child-friendly pocket park and a short walk to Sydney University, RPA Hospital and Annandale village.
