As a Paddington local, Catherine Dixon knows the area she lives and works inside out and it’s this understanding that has earned her a stellar reputation in the suburb. Even though Paddington is small, Catherine’s results have earned her a ranking as the No.1 agent in the Eastern Suburbs and the No.5 agent in Australia in the REB Top 50 Women in Real Estate 2021, the performance benchmark for female agents in the country. What gives Catherine an edge is her ability to incorporate her market knowledge and appreciation of the local community with her sales skills and educational qualifications (she holds degrees in law and architecture and has practised both!).

Renowned for the iconic Victorian homes, Paddington is one of Sydney’s most cohesive architectural suburbs with its picturesque rows of terraces but gentrification means that you never know what’s beyond the front door. Catherine and her team have a choice of four unique homes that celebrate their heritage through a refreshing contemporary Australian lens.

Newly transformed after extensive planning and renovation works, the reinvention of 17 West Street, Paddington has created a truly spectacular home designed in collaboration with its owners, Adam Hampton of Hampton Architecture and his heritage expert wife, and landscape designer Bates Landscape. The result is a breathtaking fusion of light and space complete with a home office studio that’s showcased in this month’s issue of House & Garden and comes with a buyer’s guide of $4m.

In one of Paddo’s quietest spots, between the buzz of Oxford Street and Five Ways, 5 Elfred Street, Paddington is a two-storey 1890s terrace just up from RHW Park with a buyer’s guide of $3.6m. With three big bedrooms and two bathrooms, the layout is ideal for families completed with a sunny flagstone entertainer’s courtyard. Unique for Paddington, 150 Boundary Street, Paddington is a 9m wide terrace currently configured for dual occupancy with a readily adaptable layout, off street parking and a buyer’s guide of $2.7m.

Finally, the off-market opportunity at 149 Hargrave Street, Paddington is a quintessential terrace with rear lane access to parking and a guide of $3.1m.
