This superbly renovated four-bedroom family home delivers a masterful fusion of contemporary living and classic character. With the help of Spooner Architectural Solutions, it successfully makes the transition into the 21st century. Previously, the opportunity to connect with the impressive 1218sqm grounds was limited. Thanks to a sympathetic extension and new outdoor living, the home now engages with its site and has been transformed into a relaxing urban sanctuary. Adept at crafting high-end new homes and working on heritage properties, the building team was well cut out to take on this project. While details such as restored ceiling roses, hardwood flooring and decorative wall panelling pay tribute to the home’s heritage, there are impressive additions that propel it into the future. Down the driveway, the vehicle turntable is definitely one of them.Spanning a 300sqm footprint, the home capitalises on the tranquil vista through large-scale glazing and sliders. There are future-proofing and energy savings too, with solar and smart-home wiring, plus thermally broken turn-and-tilt windows.
