Mount Eden is known for its heritage charm and this elegant renovation proves that old and new can coexist in harmony. Breathing fresh life into a well-loved villa, the 206sqm project has transformed the upper floor into a refined yet functional home for modern living. Carefully brought to life by the build team, the home now offers a layout with new open-plan kitchen, living and dining spaces — all tied together by beautifully restored matai floors. The result is an inviting, light-filled area designed for connection and comfort.

Double-glazed timber joinery was installed throughout, lifting thermal performance while maintaining character. Three bathrooms — including an updated family bathroom and ensuite — provide convenience and privacy. Behind the scenes, the floorplan has been subtly adjusted to improve flow, with a new laundry and mudroom entry supporting the demands of everyday life. A covered pergola completes the rear of the home, enhancing the connection to the outdoors. This sympathetic addition allows for year-round entertaining, without disturbing the home’s street-facing charm. In fact, every detail has been thoughtfully resolved, resulting in a renovation that feels timeless, authentic and wonderfully easy to live in.
