Every season is party season thanks to the ultra-modern extension of this 1920s bungalow. This beachside home now boasts celebrity-level open-plan living, a temperature-controlled wine cellar, multiple party zones with built-in fireplaces, an outdoor entertaining area and a lap pool. During the renovation, the home’s unassuming facade was preserved and enhanced, amplifying the building’s street appeal, but the true magic lies in the ultra-modern extension at the rear. A contemporary kitchen with granite benchtops, two ovens and large hob is now a place where memories — not to mention canapés — are made. Multiple living zones, each equipped with a cosy fireplace, provide the space for intimate gatherings and supersized shindigs. The enormous kitchen-dining area leads out through huge sliding glass doors onto a deck, with louvres allowing year-round use. Automatic interior blinds and sliding exterior shutters bring the home up to speed with today’s technologies. Although the renovation was extensive, it hasn’t overwhelmed the original home. It’s still a pretty four-bedroom, three-bathroom bungalow with super-cute street appeal... only now there’s a whole lotta extra living going on at the rear of the property.
