Perched on Sydney Harbour, Wharf House enjoys a breathtaking waterfront view, complemented by mature Angophora trees that create a serene, natural embrace. The home’s revitalisation by Arent & Pyke focused on strengthening these connections, preserving its heritage details and adapting the layout for modern living. A new primary retreat, nestled within a sandstone cavity below, opens onto a patio with garden views. The design balances old and new, highlighting intricate leadlight windows and ornate fretwork. Each room maintains its own character unified by rich, grounding tones. Contemporary touches, like tessellated porcelain tiles and custom stone vanities, enhance the home’s crafted elegance. The result is a refreshed yet enduring family residence blending heritage charm with a thoughtful, modern sensibility.
