Beautifully considered throughout, this remarkable residence brings together the character of a fully restored original home with the precision and refinement of a striking contemporary extension. Designed by Tecture's Ben Robertson and built by Biviano Builders, it represents an exceptional collaboration of architecture, interiors, landscape and craftsmanship.
Expansive open-plan kitchen, living and dining spaces form the heart of the home, framed by custom double-glazed steel-frame windows and connecting seamlessly with the landscaped gardens. Marble features throughout the kitchen, laundry, living room, bathrooms and powder room, complemented by oak flooring from Made by Storey, European fittings and a considered collection of designer lighting from leading local and international artisans.
The kitchen combines exceptional form and function, appointed with Miele ovens, an induction cooktop and two full-size dishwashers, alongside a Fisher & Paykel French-door refrigerator and additional fridge drawer. A generous butler's pantry and thoughtfully appointed laundry provide further functionality and storage.
Four bedrooms, including two with ensuites, are complemented by a dedicated study, separate lounge, main bathroom and powder room. A gas fireplace creates warmth in the lounge, while a wood-burning fireplace anchors the main living area. Hydronic heating, underfloor heating, heated towel rails and ducted air-conditioning ensure year-round comfort.
Outside, landscape architecture by Plume creates a seamless extension of the interiors, with beautifully considered gardens, comprehensive irrigation and designer lighting. A double-sided wood fireplace and mains-connected gas BBQ create an exceptional setting for outdoor entertaining, while the substantial garage incorporates storage, gym facilities and electric vehicle charging.
