Refined eclecticism is the order of the day in this four-bedroom home, crafted with passion by the former homeowner. There’s a sense of intrigue to every room across the four spacious storeys, drawn with mixtures of contemporary and antique furniture, bold patterns and tactile textures, plus a host of engaging artwork.
The home’s double-fronted, stucco façade makes a handsome first impression. Beyond, the historic architecture has been reworked with unique flair. An archway leads into the open-plan dining room and study. An elegant jacquard-style pattern spans the walls and curtains that frame the windows at either end of the space. To one side, a smart wooden dining table is paired with perspect chairs. To the other, a retro desk cabinet offers a bright pop of colour. Beyond a set of French doors, there’s a private patio garden. Tall black trellises make for a punchy contrast to the green planting, while affording a sense of privacy to the al fresco space. The shaker-style kitchen is also located on this story: it’s a calming setting with whitewashed metro tiling and a marble-topped breakfast bar.
Social life continues on the first floor with the voluminous double reception room. A pair of full-height sash windows infuse the space with sunlight, while heritage grandeur is introduced through olive-green walls, a marble fireplace surround, crystal chandelier and antique sculptures. Completing this floor is a guest bedroom, decorated with pinstripe walls and full-height curtains that can be closed to conceal the sleeping area.
The principal bedroom suite takes the second storey. Dark wood floors and pale walls lend attention to the four-poster bed, while a row of wardrobes are set to store new-found retail purchases. The en suite bathroom is a masterpiece of marble; the floors, dual vanity and rainfall shower are all wrapped in the smooth veined stone. From the bedroom, you can access a private terrace that overlooks the peaceful street.
On the lower-ground floor, the media room is modish with burnt-orange walls, mid-century style seating and a television set for cosy nights in. Two sunlit guest bedrooms are also located on this level: both are crafted with whitewashed tongue-and-groove panelling and sisal carpets, adding a nautical edge to their interiors. A family bathroom serves these rooms — an opulent space with brown marble walls and a bathtub.
