With its grand wedding cake-style facade, generous setback from the road and manicured grounds, this landmark 1885 home in Sydney’s inner west could be dubbed the White House by passers-by. And, if its walls could talk, they would have some equally interesting tales to tell.
“Our home’s story is deep-rooted, as it has lived many lives,” says the owner, who lives here with her husband and three sons, aged 16 and under. Now, thanks to interior designer Greg Natale, it embarks on a new chapter unlike any that’s gone before. A chapter that literally began in black and white, it respects the past while embracing the future.
