Private Home
Almost Famous
Westleigh, NSW, Australia
The Space
Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, Almost Famous is a quintessential 1970s tri-split level home overlooking the breathtaking Berowra Valley National Park. Designed to embrace its natural surrounds, the residence captures sweeping bushland views from two expansive balconies, while large picture windows throughout the home frame leafy vistas and flood the interiors with natural light.
The striking entrance foyer sets the tone, featuring a timber-panelled wall, original mission brown tiles, and a gallery-style staircase leading to the upper level. Authentic 70s design flourishes abound: original Red Cedar wall panelling, exposed timber beams, timber bannisters, vaulted ceilings, period-correct mission brown window frames, and original light fittings and door handles. Three vintage bathrooms retain their retro character, while four bright bedrooms—each with large windows, a northerly aspect, and white block-out blinds—offer comfort with charm.
Eclectically furnished with mid-century, industrial, and antique pieces, the interiors provide a versatile and cinematic backdrop. The home’s layout, with its split levels and gallery-style hallway overlooking the middle floor, adds architectural depth for shoots.
Outdoors, the property features a sparkling swimming pool, a level lawn garden framed by established camellias, and a leafy front garden punctuated by large sandstone bush rocks. Native birdlife—including kookaburras, cockatoos, king parrots, and rainbow lorikeets—brings the setting to life, enhancing the home’s connection to nature and its immersive atmosphere.
Almost Famous is more than just a home—it’s a time capsule of 1970s design, offering character, versatility, and cinematic texture at every turn.
