13 Stephen St, Paddington has plenty of room for the whole gang to spread out.
Some luxury homes are amazing works of art, but totally impractical for a family.
This three-level Paddington residence — up for auction on August 19 with a $6m guide via Richardson & Wrench Double Bay’s Marion Badenoch and Veronika Turnbull, is the best of both worlds: beautiful and also extremely family friendly.
No wonder more than 50 groups attended the home’s first open home.
With five bedrooms, four bathrooms and multiple entertainment areas, 13 Stephen Street has plenty of room for the whole gang to spread out.

And there’s even room for a grand piano!
And great for bringing in the shopping from the car — a door leads straight from the double garage into the kitchen.
The chef in the house will love the kitchen, too, which has recently been updated. A premium Ilve gas range with barbecue grille and two ovens was added.
The house, designed by renowned architect Brian Lynch, was built in 1985 but every surface was touched in its makeover.
The master suite opens to a balcony.
His and hers bathrooms have recently been updated.
With the older children moving to bedrooms on the lower level, one of which has an ensuite and the other close access to a bathroom, Mum and Dad decided to upgrade their bathrooms off the master suite.
There’s also a huge dressing room and a wide balcony overlooking the large garden, designed by Marcia Hoskins.
The back yard is a stunning outdoor entertainment space, perfect for barbecues. And the laundry in the nearby rumpus room has a sink, dishwasher and large fridge.
The kitchen, too, has been freshened up.
The rear courtyard is a great spot for family barbecues.
What’s particularly special about this home is the width — it’s 12m across. That’s extremely rare in Paddington.
The vendors, who now have an empty nest and are downsizing, love the light — there’s a large skylight in the living area.
The house is 12m wide, which is huge for a Paddington home.
There are multiple places to dine throughout the home.
They say: “The house has provided us with a beautiful family home that is so light and sunny with flexible spaces and a great place to entertain family and friends.”
They also adore the location. It’s close by Five Ways village, CYC, good schools and Rushcutters Bay Park.
