What was once a home of contrasting eras & influences, has been thoughtfully reimagined into a warm & inviting family sanctuary, where its original Edwardian character & later mid-century additions, now sit seamlessly side by side. Ideally positioned within a tightly held Elsternwick period precinct, the inspired top-to-toe transformation was led by Sarah Kennedy, owner & principal interior architect of Melbourne-based architecture studio Edward St. The result, a true labour of love that celebrates the home's past while creating a beautifully liveable contemporary family home. From the moment you step inside, a palette of neutral tones & natural textures establish an immediate sense of calm, complemented by limed timber floors, high ceilings & carefully framed garden glimpses towards the courtyard beyond. The hallway culminates in the wonderfully expansive heart of the home – a breathtaking, modernist inspired, open plan northerly oriented living & dining extension. Clerestory windows lure abundant natural light & provide gorgeous leafy outlooks. A built-in banquette creates an inviting dining setting, while an ethanol fireplace introduces warmth & atmosphere. Creamy brickwork, timber veneer joinery & carefully selected finishes celebrate its mid-century influences & create a wonderfully relaxed aesthetic. Further enhancing the indoor-outdoor appeal, this sun-drenched space opens to an expansive deck & low maintenance rear garden, ideal for relaxing & entertaining. To complete the picture, a well appointed kitchen entices with Laminex Steel Blue joinery, Yubi Duck Egg tiles from Perini, Phoenix tapware & a suite of high end appliances (including integrated dishwasher & induction cooktop). The downstairs domain also delivers two generously sized bedrooms with built-in robes & a beautifully finished Signorino tiled bathroom with a shower & bath. Upstairs, the home's generous light filled proportions & leafy views reinforce the feeling of space & tranquillity, featuring an impressive main bedroom with a substantial walk-in robe & stylish bathroom. A versatile additional living space provides exceptional flexibility, equally suited to a children's retreat, fourth bedroom, second living zone or dedicated work-from-home space. Other features include ducted heating/cooling, a Euro laundry, under stair storage, a storage shed & off street parking for one car. Brilliantly positioned for a vibrant convenient lifestyle close to parks, well regarded schools, transport, Classic Cinemas & Glen Huntly Road shopping strip’s shops, cafés & night life.
