Killing Time in Paradise
Modern design successfully blends with the traditional elements of this home, promoting an indoor-outdoor connectivity with easy flow from the entrance through to the garden. Bringing the original 1900s home to life, the recent renovations and extensions by Studio John Irving Architects, has resulted in a lovely and liveable home for both families and those who love to entertain.
Surrounding palms lend a tropical feel to the landscape, whether sitting out on one of the two alfresco dining areas or in the sitting room, an irresistible place to relax with a good book in style and comfort. Designed to display artwork, there is plenty of wall space for art and yet living areas open completely to the outdoors. Stackable doors slide back to allow access to an enclosable deck, just drop the clear plastic wall panels; the louvre roof closes automatically as soon as it senses rain.
Entertaining from the spacious, designer kitchen with a mixture of striking finishes, a large central island, clever cabinet system with secret drawers, gas hobs, and a walk-in pantry is a dream. Flow through to the family, dining and, of course, the outdoors is seamless and a key quality of the workable layout.
Four double bedrooms all have plenty of wardrobe and storage space and the spazioCasa bathroom has high-end tapware and fittings. One off-street car park.
Bright and sunny with touches of designer features such as the Kate Stokes dining pendant. Killing time in this home will never be a chore!
