Behind its white picket fence, 8 Smith Street invites you to settle into a gentler rhythm, with room for family life to unfold. Newly renovated, this character filled Holland Park home pairs the warmth of heritage charm with the comfort of today's modern luxury.

Soft neutral interiors create an elegant backdrop for your favourite pieces, while French doors draw you from the upper lounge onto the covered front deck. Pull up a chair with your morning coffee and enjoy a quiet moment before the day begins.
At the heart of the home, a richly coloured burgundy Ilve oven brings a distinctive touch to the kitchen. Gas hotplates and an electric oven cater for everything from a quick family breakfast to a meal worth lingering over. White cabinetry, dark benchtops and brass toned hardware lend a timeless finish, with a pantry and generous storage keeping the practical details close at hand.
