A creative transformation has brought a fresh family spirit to one of Ruthven Street's iconic Gingerbread cottages, blending timeless Victorian Gothic architecture with a sun-filled contemporary rear. Holding the prized corner position in a landmark row dating to the early 1900s, the three-bedroom home has only one common wall and retains its storybook character, from the decorative gabled facade and corbelled-arch hallway to a wide bay window and original fireplace. At the rear, the mood shifts as northerly sunshine streams through walls of glass, illuminating open living and dining spaces enriched by warm timber accents and exposed brick. Breakout spaces add flexibility for family life, while the dining area flows seamlessly to a sunny cottage garden with an outdoor beach shower and rear access via Gowrie Lane to St James Reserve Playground. In the Woollahra Public School catchment, this is a wonderful neighbourhood for young families, 450m to Centennial Park and 650m to the station and Westfield.
