Influencer Nadia Fairfax is set to say goodbye to her Vogue Living-featured Paddington terrace, just months after the birth of her daughter with her husband, financier Michael Wayne.

The couple have undertaken a colourful update to the five-bedroom, three-bathroom 1880s terrace, Cawdor, since their $4.05m purchase in 2020 from abstract painter Michael Johnson and his wife Margot.

The couple welcomed their daughter, Cordelia, in late 2023 after the extensive makeover to the Bent St house, which has traces of neo-classical Palladian and Georgian architectural styles.

Rival estate agents have been seeking the listing since she told Vogue in May that she was keen for her next renovation project. It is tipped the marketing campaign will kick off after her return from Turkey, where her social media posts show her on a shoot for luxury swimwear brand JETS Australia.

Fairfax loves the terrace location in “SoPa”, meaning south Paddington.

“Personally, I think it’s by far the top-ranking part of Paddo,” Fairfax said.

The neighbouring 1870 mansion, Glammis, recently sold for $10.75m to resources industry analyst Richard Saywell, having previously been transformed by architect Genevieve Lilley for Kokoda Property founder Mark Stevens.

Vogue wrote interior designer Tamsin Johnson had “ushered in lush textures and a courageous palette with an unbridled sense of fun” into Cawdor. The VL50-listed designer said the goal of the renovation was to reflect the couple’s personality.

It’s a classic Paddington terrace.

“They are professional and balanced people, but also love a bit of fun,” she said.

“Nadia didn’t want the expected cream house with travertine and floorboards. She wanted to push the envelope and use as much colour as possible.”

It includes the kitchen bench and bar made from buttery slabs of yellow onyx, plus tangerine linen banquets.
