Entering this property 21 years later and attending this week’s visit to the Wentworth Courier House, I feel the same way.

In the warmer months, the swimming pool will be a great place, even now, looking down on it from Jonathan’s bedroom, trickling water and harbour views, it’s easy to see how this house helps its occupants create wonderful things.

The previous owners were merchant banker Bryan Davies and his wife designer Rebecca Davies. They carried out the initial renovation, including a stylish master suite with thick tiles and a spa bathtub, which would be all the rage at the time.

The owners said they liked the courtyard pool area of ​​the property.

But within a year after the Lu family bought it, they transformed the original two-bedroom and half-household into a three-bedroom house, with a study or guest room downstairs and a new floor upstairs.

A few years ago, they renovated the kitchen with the help of interior designer’s daughter Katrina. She did a great job, with Bosch appliances, plenty of cabinets and deep, soft-closed drawers.

Parents can see what is happening in the swimming pool from the kitchen sink.

For me, I like the way the internal lounge, dining room and kitchen lead to the courtyard through wooden doors. These rooms face east, so they will be filled with morning sunlight.

Katrina’s daughter redesigned the kitchen.
