Behind the traditional Federation facade of this wide-fronted semi lies a bright and airy family home designed to reflect the creative energy of its beach village setting just 250m to Bondi Road's celebrated dining and social scene. Freestanding to the north, 'Alesha' has been recreated to embrace the outdoors and integrate seamlessly with a lush backyard oasis with leafy greenery cascading down from the master suite and its meadow-like rooftop garden. The redesign delivers inventive solutions to light and volume with a simple material palette of timber, travertine and concrete that underscores a feeling of calm and a lightness of touch with Venetian plaster walls for a luminous effect. Set on a private 278sqm approx, the four-bedroom home features an upper level conceived as a parents' retreat with functionality and flexibility inherent in the design. The original front of the home retains its heritage feel with a corbelled arch hallway and 3.1m ceilings while the rear is conceived as the social heart of the home anchored by a custom kitchen. An oasis of calm with a tranquil botanical feel, this is a perfect spot for families equidistant to Bondi and Tamarama Beaches and 400m to Bondi Public School and Montessori East.
