Pretty at the front and glamorous at the rear, the transformative redesign of this 1920s California bungalow unveils a bold new chapter, reimagined by Graphio Architects as a light-filled family sanctuary. Set on a dual-access 291sqm approx, the freestanding home balances heritage charm with a contemporary sensibility centred on connection, functionality and flow. Across two substantial levels, the four-bedroom layout is intuitively configured for modern family life, with bedrooms conceived as private retreats and living spaces designed as the social heart. A dream Esmerelda quartzite kitchen with butler's pantry anchors the home, while walls of glass dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, framing a landscaped garden and mosaic-tiled pool. An uplifting material palette with splashes of Zurich Quartzite and Norwegian rose marble introduces warmth and personality, complemented by extensive custom joinery and zoned air. Positioned in one of Lilyfield's most tightly held pockets, Cecily Street delivers the perfect balance of village charm and urban convenience, with rear lane access to a large lock-up garage and Rozelle Parklands at the end of the street. This is inner-west living at its best, just 550m to Totti's, 850m to the light rail for an easy city commute, and within close reach of White Bay, the Sydney Fish Market and the harbour foreshore.
