Escape the world and step into this tranquil single-level 1930s residence, where designer style comes to the forefront, with an elegant contemporary interior that has been beautifully reinterpreted for modern living. The exceptional Art Deco period detailing, including high ceilings with decorative roses and cornices, picture rails, leadlight windows, bevelled glass french doors, open fireplaces and polished floorboards are matched with today's technology from C-Bus wiring to broadband connection and integrated speakers to the bathroom, kitchen and outdoor areas. With northern light filtering through the living room to a spacious dining room, this architect's own home is a sanctuary of space and light, while the original fireplaces to both the living and dining rooms ensure the open plan spaces are perfect for entertaining.
Culminating the home is an inspirational kitchen that presents straight from the pages of a design magazine, with its expanses of Corian benchtops, matched with Smeg 900mm wide appliances, integrated dishwasher, and floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking and opening to decking and a private leafy low-maintenance garden wrapped in manchurian pear trees. A superb mosaic-tiled bathroom serves two light-filled double bedrooms; each with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes; while a laundry, security system, gas ducted heating, instant hot water, rainwater tank, off-street parking and a large garden shed lined with apple trees add the perfect finishing touches. Just a short stroll away from Koornang Road shops, cafes, trams and parkland, this stunning home is the perfect lifestyle retreat.
