About this space

Blending Federation-era detail with a dramatic modern extension, Islington is a beautifully renovated, four-bedroom home in Sydney’s inner west. Located on a tree-lined street in Lewisham and just moments from the creative precincts of Marrickville, Petersham and Summer Hill, this home offers a shoot location that’s equal parts character-filled and camera-ready.

The front of the home has been lovingly restored to showcase its original heritage—think ornate ceilings, decorative archways, period fireplaces and polished timber floors. These warmly detailed bedrooms and hallways offer rich texture and timeless elegance for stills and film alike.

Toward the rear, the space opens up into a soaring open-plan kitchen, dining and living zone, crowned by cathedral-style ceilings and filled with natural light. The kitchen is designed for serious food content—with twin ovens, dishwashers and fridges making it ideal for appliance shoots, cooking shows or styled editorial food setups. The oversized island and sleek finishes offer both function and impact on camera.

The living area centres around a grand stone fireplace with built-in gas fire, creating a warm and inviting setting perfect for lifestyle or family storytelling. A 12-14 seat rustic dining table anchors the space, offering scale for styled gatherings, product launches or festive campaign content.

Glass doors open onto a lush backyard with a generous 7×5m inground pool, manicured garden, and rear lane access—making bump-in smooth and efficient for crews or equipment deliveries.

Set in the heart of Sydney’s creative inner west, Islington combines Federation charm with contemporary luxury—delivering a versatile, light-filled home that works effortlessly across lifestyle, food, interiors, editorial and family content.
