An air of contemporary elegance flows through this  inner North Shore heritage property, from its beautifully restored road frontage to an extensive new indoor-outdoor living space.

Incredibly, the home has doubled in size thanks to the  open-plan addition at its rear. Recycled kauri flooring flows throughout, helping the modern and existing elements to become one.

Traditional archways in the hall have been lovingly restored. New arches, in keeping with the original, grace the extended entrance, which flows effortlessly from the front of the home to the back. Expansive glass doors can be swept aside creating a level connection with the vast deck and established landscaping.

While the traditional bones of the house have been maintained, the contemporary kitchen showcases a sleek and modern contrast. Marble tiling and benchtops, an attention-grabbing weathered steel rangehood and floating wire mesh glass shelves all come together in a perfect recipe for tasteful modern living.

This renovation is sure to stand the test of time.
