‘Horaceville’ c. 1889, 5 Warren Ball Avenue, Newtown, NSW 2042

Opposite Hollis Park in one of Newtown’s grandest streetscapes, ‘Horaceville’ is one of just eight original Filigree terraces, reimagined with precision by architect Daniel Boddam and designer Stacey Kouros. A meticulous rebuild from the ground up, the home blends Victorian grandeur with a glamorous material palette, bespoke finishes, and luxurious contemporary additions. It offers multiple formal and informal living zones, with soaring ceilings, heritage details, and a rare sense of scale. With interiors inspired by palatial European apartments, the design features intricate wallpapers, custom marble, and refined joinery, all wrapped in a warm, family-focused layout. From the rooftop terrace with 360-degree views, to the landscaped garden by Wyer & Co, this is one of the Inner West’s most exceptional transformations.

Built c. 1889 as part of a row of eight Victorian Italianate Filigree terraces by developer George Brock on the former Kettle Estate, the Warren Ball Avenue terraces are listed on the Register of the National Estate and are considered some of the finest and most sought-after homes in the Newtown area. The street, originally known as Kettle Avenue and later L’Avenue, was renamed Warren Ball Avenue in honour of local alderman and businessman Warren Ball JP.
