311 Nelson Street
Annandale

A substantial family home on a deep dual-access block, Gingerbread House has been masterfully reimagined by Carter Williamson Architects with precision, warmth and richness. Shortlisted for the National Houses Awards, the design draws inspiration from the home’s original heritage charm and scale, layering in contemporary principles of flexibility, connection and natural light. Timber-framed glazing, picture windows and a beautifully resolved central lightwell pull greenery, air and sunlight deep into the interiors, while a sequence of pivoting glass doors creates a seamless relationship between inside and out. Family-scaled in every sense, the layout balances generous accommodation with sophisticated living and entertaining zones, culminating in a master retreat with balcony overlooking the reserve. At the rear, secondary access via Nelson Lane leads to an oversized garage with exceptional versatility, offering ample room for secure parking alongside workshop, storage or mini gym potential. Crowned by an elegant terrace immersed in leafy park outlooks, the home enjoys a peaceful Annandale address just moments to Hinsby Park, Booth Street cafés, Tramsheds, Jubilee Park light rail and Blackwattle Bay. The well connected location is just 1km to Westconnex and Rozelle Parklands, 1.5km to Bays Precinct Metro, 1.8kms to Fish Markets, and 4km to Barangaroo and the CBD.
