ADA NICODEMOU’S SYDNEY HOME IS AS SUNNY AS THE HOME AND AWAY FAVOURITE HERSELF, AND IS AN IDEAL PLACE TO RETREAT AFTER A DAY IN SUMMER BAY

A Place To Call Home

It took just moments for Ada Nicodemou to realise her search was over: hugging a steep pocket of land in southern Sydney, the lightbathed abode with airy living spaces spilling through to a sun-dappled garden and pool was everything the popular Home And Away star had envisaged as a home-to-grow-in for herself and her six-year-old son, Johnas. Happily, too, she already knew the neighbourhood almost as well as her home-away-from-home for nearly two decades – TV’s iconic Summer Bay. Ada and Johnas had been living in a smaller house a few doors down and she was familiar with the street in other ways, too.

“We definitely didn’t move far,” says the stylish performer. “My mum also lives in the street a little further up.” But it wasn’t just the location – and mum nearby – that drew her in. “I have quite particular tastes, so I thought it might be difficult to find what I was looking for,” explains Ada. “This was literally the first house that I saw, and there was a feeling I got as soon as I stepped inside. I thought ‘This is it!’, so I put in an offer straight away.”
