Recently re-imagined with warmth and purpose, this five-bedroom, three-bathroom home balances easy family function with timeless design. The tone is calm and inviting from the first step inside its large front door; natural light spilling across new timber finish floors, crisp white wainscoting adding texture and charm. But above all there is an overwhelming sense of belonging.
The kitchen anchors family life. A central stone-topped island provides the focal point. Wide benches, a fully fitted, walk-in pantry and abundant storage maintain composure even when entertaining at scale. Layered lighting and soft tones bring a relaxed sophistication to a space filled with conversation.
Connected to this hub are the dining and living areas. Wrapped in large windows on two sides the space is blessed with beautiful natural light. Sliding glass doors connect to the alfresco and garden at the rear and offer the ideal zone for low maintenance outdoor living. Limestone retained garden beds, polished concrete and a welcoming undercover area complete the space.
A guest suite on the ground floor gives superb flexibility for visiting family or a quiet home office. Upstairs, four generous bedrooms line the northern boundary whilst a street facing family lounge provides a practical secondary living area. The master suite feels like a calm retreat, with a large walk-through robe and an ensuite that adds a touch of indulgence to every morning. The minor bedrooms are generous in size, offer fitted built in robes and are serviced by a well-appointed family bathroom.

Life in Mount Claremont has a rhythm all of its own. Close to John XXIII College and a short drive to other private schools such as Scotch College and Christ Church Grammar School, as well as Lake Claremont with weekends spent between the beach and the park. St Johns Wood sits quietly at the centre of an enviable lifestyle, connected to everything yet wrapped in peace. Here, families stay for the community as much as the convenience; a place where its streets feel like home.
At 36 Abbey Gardens, the balance between design and practicality is a consistent theme; because family homes should be measured not by scale, but by the way they make life work. To learn more about this beautiful residence, contact Matthew Yap on 0488 910 810.
