About this space

Tucked into Sydney’s lower north shore, this architect-designed home offers a layered blend of heritage, modernity, and resort-style ease—making it an exceptionally versatile location for photo, film, and content productions. Originally built in the 1930s as a Californian Bungalow, the property has since undergone two thoughtful renovations, resulting in a contemporary five-bedroom home that feels warm, expansive, and shoot-ready from every angle.

From the moment you step through the oversized double doors into the generous entry, the space opens up with flow and flexibility. Multiple living areas, a home office, a butler’s pantry, and 2.5 bathrooms provide a range of usable zones ideal for both lifestyle and editorial shoots. Light pours in through the north-west aspect, casting a golden hue across key rooms throughout the day—perfect for capturing clean, natural-light imagery without heavy setup.

The open-plan kitchen and dining zone connects seamlessly to a covered outdoor deck, which overlooks a 12.5-metre pool and lush backyard. It’s this connection to outdoor living—framed by big skies and a lawned yard—that gives the property its nickname among family and friends: “the resort.” The backyard is a highlight in every season, and a soon-to-be-updated BBQ, pizza oven, and firepit area will only expand its creative potential.

What sets this space apart is not just its architecture, but its adaptability. The host regularly updates furniture and art, and welcomes re-styling to suit production needs. Whether you’re after a polished family home, an urban backyard oasis, or a springtime campaign setting, this home offers the flexibility to make it yours.

One of the standout seasonal features is the stunning pink blossom avenue that blooms each August—framing the path from the front gate to the entry with a soft, romantic palette perfect for spring shoots.

With thoughtful design across every room and flexible host support, this shoot location combines style, scale, and usability in a premium Sydney setting. It’s as functional as it is photogenic—ideal for brand campaigns, content days, wellness productions, or full-scale film shoots.
