Imagined by interior designer Ian Wilson to be a haven of design-led luxury, this tastefully transformed, one-of-a-kind lifestyle retreat is shrouded in greenery, enveloped by natural light, and framed by the vibrancy of the beloved inner north. A classical façade preludes an interior where the utmost care has been given to quality, function, and ensuring each and every day is a genuine joy. Generous robes join an Indian Limestone floor bathroom with Rogerseller tapware, Bizazza mosaics, a cantilevered concrete bench, and green outlooks in serving two substantial bedrooms, while in a magnificent focal section, sun streams through full-height windows to foster an ambiance of airy distinction. Fantini tapware enriches a gourmet kitchen, while expansive living and dining zones spill through two walls of bi-fold glass to an entertainer’s backyard kept private by artisan landscaping. Windows surround a second-storey lounge that’s just as ideal a bedroom as an office or artist’s escape, stepping onto a scenic roof deck brilliant for a barbecue or social drink on a summer evening. Augmented by reverse-cycle heating/cooling, floor-to-ceiling doors, timber floorboards, a shed, European laundry, and carefully curated designer lighting, it’s no more than footsteps to great coffee, thriving bars, eclectic cuisine, scattered parks, Merri Creek, and city-bound trains and trams.
