The classic double block-fronted façade of this expansive family residence reveals a sensational contemporary setting over 2 light-laden levels engaging seamlessly with its lush surrounding garden. Brilliantly redefined by award-winning po-co Architecture, this stunning 4 bedroom and study home retains its timeless heritage character before opening wide in an outstanding display of modern design with a rolling wave of beautifully-curated spaces under soaring glass and timber-clad ceiling lines. The original front portion unfolds with polished blackbutt floorboards beneath painted timber ceilings, where two generous north-facing bedrooms with extensive built-in storage and desks, lead to a third bedroom with custom joinery/desk and a skylit gallery-style vestibule. A private parents' retreat on the upper level features a fitted study by a serene main bedroom (custom walk-in robe and a streamlined ensuite), while skylights trace the roofline down to a central service area including a stylish ground-floor bathroom and a full-size laundry. Launching the extension is a premium gourmet kitchen showcasing Bosch integrated appliances, soft-close cabinetry and a stone-topped breakfast island where towering whitewashed brickwork and powder-coated steel bifold doors frame a family dining area balancing warmth and volume with a striking architectural presence. A polished concrete floor with hydronic in-slab heating flows to a seated reading nook and a substantial rear living domain. Crowned by a high vaulted ceiling amplifying light drawn through double-glazed windows, this beautiful family space embraced by garden features a huge open fireplace, wide sliding doors and rear access out to a hidden oasis of leafy greenery under the canopy of mature trees. At the heart of the design is a central feature courtyard forming a tranquil axis around which the living spaces revolve. Its wisteria-draped pergola and bluestone paving create a sheltered garden room that delivers light deep into the interior while offering a secluded space to relax and entertain. Further attributes include split-system heating and cooling, integrated bespoke joinery, extensive storage, louvre ventilation and rainwater tank with a pump. A flawless fusion of period integrity and architectural vision, this remarkable residence presents a dream opportunity for a family to embrace an exceptional lifestyle in a peaceful village setting where everything is just a short walk away including Merri Creek trails and parkland, primary school, cafes and Clifton Hill train station.
