Architecturally reinvented for comfort and longevity, this striking semi-detached home showcases contemporary finishes and styling within its 115-year-old shell. Originally built in c1910, architect Graeme Bell has transformed this longstanding home by enhancing its lofty proportions with minimalist flair.
Resting on solid sandstone foundations, clever design has increased and streamlined the footprint for a 25-metre flow from front to back. Maintaining high ceilings throughout with two landscaped courtyards acting as bookends, both gardens instil a sense of peace and tranquillity inside and out. Opening to the outdoors from each living area, striking custom steel doors steal the show within the living room. A cathedral ceiling soars above the open plan concept at the rear with a collection of imported pendant lights adding to the drama. Centred around a stone topped island, the kitchen features an integrated refrigerator, Smeg cooking appliances and a Miele dishwasher.
Three bedrooms stem off the long hallway lined in skylights and pendant lights. All bedrooms boast custom built-in robes; there is also a built-in desk creating a practical work from home space. Serviced by a stunning bathroom, a bespoke marble encased vanity offers storage in style. Floored in Carrara marble mosaic tiles, innovative design maximises privacy.
A sophisticated downsize or executive hideaway, there is off-street parking at the rear off Premier Street. Quiet and leafy yet moments from the buzz of Military Road, enjoy the best of both worlds from this sought-after enclave. Live a lifestyle of unrivalled convenience, walk to popular cafes, restaurants, wine bars, supermarkets and express bus transport.
