13 Gerald Street, Blackburn, Vic 3130

Contemporary open plan architectural design has seen this 1950s weatherboard cottage evolve into a spectacular four-bedroom plus study family home.
Located in a quiet street near the Blackburn Lake Sanctuary, the interior rooms wrap around an extensive northern-orientated decked area to create natural light in all of the connected spaces.
The spirit of the house is one of flexibility and function with casual and more formal living areas arranged in an easily flowing floor plan. A warm materials palette and fine detailing create a welcoming facade, with over-sized pavers and a giant palm presenting a statuesque scale to the streetscape. Solid Vic Ash floorboards, hardwood decks and floating timber cabinetry contrast beautifully with crisp white finishes, Caeserstone benches, pivot doors, sleek stainless steel fittings and fixtures, extensive use of glass and clever storage solutions. It comprises a formal lounge with OFP, 4 bedrooms, master with walk-thru robe, 2 bathrooms, a designer kitchen, an elongated study space framed by a full-length bench seat and a wall of windows that links with the huge living zone and the lush outdoor surrounds of the 1072m2 property. It features double auto garage, ducted evaporative cooling, zoned ducted heating, security system, motorised external blinds, drip watering system & rainwater tank, mains gas for BBQ and extensive storage inside and out.
