A compelling interplay of heritage and contemporary design defines this architect designed residence by Archiphor, where a restored Victorian façade gives way to a striking double storey addition crafted with precision, light and exceptional materiality.
The original facade has been carefully reinstated to honour its period character, while the newly introduced architectural form delivers a bold and highly resolved living environment. Beautifully cladded pitched forms and carefully considered glazing wrap and articulate the structure, while a central courtyard draws natural light deep into the home and connects the living zones with a sense of openness and flow.
At the heart of the residence, expansive living and dining domains unfold around this central axis, extending through bi fold doors to a west facing entertaining courtyard with integrated barbecue designed for outdoor dining and entertaining.
The kitchen is a true centrepiece, where exquisite stone is expressed in a sculptural island with breakfast bar, complemented by quality appliances, integrated storage and an adjoining bar, creating a space that is both refined and highly functional.
Throughout the home, a restrained palette is elevated by luxurious finishes and exceptional stone detailing, creating interiors that feel both calm and visually striking.
Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged across two levels. A north facing ground floor bedroom with built in robes and a luxurious ensuite provides flexibility, while upstairs the main bedroom occupies a private north facing wing with comprehensive robes including a walk in robe and beautifully appointed ensuite. A gallery style glazed walkway connects to a second living area with study nook and a third bedroom with walk in robe and ensuite access to a two way bathroom.
Additional features include heating and cooling, ground floor powder room, separate laundry and a double remote garage with internal access.
Positioned for lifestyle convenience, the home is within easy reach of Prahran East and Hawksburn Villages, Victoria and Lumley Gardens, Prahran Market, Chapel Street and South Yarra's dining precinct, with trams, buses and trains all nearby.
