Randwick 4/116 Carrington Road

A Family Friendly Garden Apartment

Better than a semi with the space of a freestanding home and a huge garage on title, this boutique apartment overdelivers in terms of style, space and lifestyle. One of four in a gorgeous Art Deco block, the family sized apartment is right on the edge of Clovelly village and just 1km to the surf at Coogee or the sheltered waters of Clovelly Beach. A creative redesign pays homage to the building's heritage with a pared back palette of oak and stone that's perfectly in tune with its setting on the cusp of two of Sydney's best beaches. Recently renovated from top to bottom, a new upper level is devoted to a kids' retreat with breakout spaces to work or play while kitchen opens out to a child-friendly backyard with a dining terrace, lush lawn and direct access to the 22sqm garage. With 238sqm on title and a private entry adding to its house-like feel, the two-bedroom home is in the catchment for Randwick Public School and 450m to Clovelly Road cafes, delis and yoga studios.
