The exterior was reclad and recomposed entirely, its new powder blue cladding, sandstone feature columns, Chippendale balustrades and white pergola structure giving the home a confidence and street presence it previously lacked. A new balcony extension off the master suite added meaningful outdoor living at the upper level, while inside, the transformation was equally considered. The kitchen addressed a persistent challenge found in many homes of this era: standard ceiling heights and limited natural light. The solution was both practical and beautiful, glass-backed cabinetry installed along the rear wall allows natural light to pass through from the windows behind, dissolving what was once a dark and closed kitchen into an open, luminous space anchored by a black Smeg range cooker, stone island and three antique brass lantern pendants. The entry hall sets a dramatic tone with dark herringbone timber floors, full-height wainscoting and a staircase finished in black and white. The dining room features a crystal chandelier of considerable scale alongside a built-in bar with wine fridge and mirrored splashback. The master bathroom is a room that stops visitors mid-stride, its clawfoot bath positioned before a bespoke stained glass window that floods the space with coloured light. Every room in this home carries its own quiet moment of distinction.
