Originally part of the historic Ethelton Primary School (circa 1900), this extraordinary residence is one of only four architect designed dwellings that were fully renovated and redeveloped in 2005, combining rich heritage with contemporary style in one of the suburb's most distinctive conversions.
Behind its classic brick façade, the home reveals a spacious, light-filled interior that captures the scale and soul of its schoolhouse origins. The open-plan living and dining area is the true heart of the home - an impressive space framed by towering ceilings, beautiful Baltic pine floors, and soaring windows that bathe the interior in natural light. A blackboard wall spanning the width of the living area pays homage to the home's schoolhouse heritage, offering a creative and functional feature that ties the past beautifully into modern living.
The modern kitchen features a central island bench and generous pantry storage, seamlessly connecting with the dining and living zones for effortless entertaining and everyday comfort. The layout offers excellent flexibility, with three well-sized bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite. Upstairs, a loft-style retreat or third bedroom provides an ideal space for guests, a home office, or a second living zone.
Flowing directly from the main living area, the undercover pergola offers a private outdoor sanctuary overlooking a lush, low-maintenance garden with established greenery and lawn - perfect for year-round entertaining.
