The old Federation home had seen better days. But as Tony drove by it, winding his way along the tree-lined street in one of Sydney’s loveliest harbourside suburbs, he stopped to take a look. “From that point, he couldn’t get it out of his mind,” says Kim, his wife. “Even with its verandah half falling off, the house had a real pull to it.”
The couple were living in Queensland at the time, but their grown-up children and grandchildren were in Sydney. When Tony and Kim sold their business and made the decision to move south, they contacted interior designer Brett Mickan to see if he’d take on the task of restoring and sensitively updating the home. “We’d seen Brett’s work on another Federation home that appeared in Australian House & Garden, and we just knew that he was exactly right for the job,” says Kim.
