It may once have been a dark brick bungalow but you could be forgiven for thinking this 1950s renovation is a new build. It’s all about brightness and warmth now and the overall feel of this 228sqm home is one of luxury. With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a double garage and two living rooms, every space exudes elegance and light. Careful placement of skylights throughout the house uses natural light to best advantage, showing off everything this space has to offer. This home has come a long way from its dated layout with segregated rooms. And with clear attention to detail, there’s plenty to see here. The central suspended ceiling fixture in the airy kitchen and living area catches your eye first, then it’s down to practicalities. There are double ovens, and custom cabinets make for easy kitchen comforts in contrasting shades of dark and pale. There are living areas at each end of this space, and two fireplaces. Timber decking carries the warm wooden feel through from inside to out and Abodo eco-timber on the soffits adds modern architectural flair. Fully tiled bathrooms are both beautiful and practical — clearly the design of this house didn’t miss a beat. This home is now a haven of peace and luxury.
