Brought to market by Fair Deal Property, this 254 m² home is a sensitively restored older home, making for an interesting facade on first look. Part new build, the work seamlessly merged past and present. Original features have been thoughtfully preserved and elevated, while the newly constructed wing introduces a bold, modern aesthetic defined by light and space.

The original portion of the home has been reimagined with care, too. A beautifully appointed living room, complete with a feature fireplace, offers a cosy contrast to the open plan modern kitchen. This space is rich in character and natural light as it nods to the home’s past.

At the heart of the home lies an expansive open plan living space that immediately impresses with its scale and brightness. Floor-to-ceiling concertina glass doors blur the boundary between indoors and out, leading onto a beautifully finished patio that’s ideal for dining and relaxed summer evenings.

The kitchen is a true centrepiece. With its oversized island, premium integrated appliances and walk-in pantry, it combines style with practicality. Every detail has been well considered, creating a space that is as functional for everyday life as it is impressive for entertaining guests.
