First impressions are of a playful interpretation of a traditional Victorian terrace but this inner-city residence breaks boldly free from the norm. On a north-facing 245sqm, the 10m fronted residence is tucked away on a sunny corner block with a unique layout conceived as a series of interlinked pavilions designed around a cloister-like internal courtyard. A creative design by Phoebe Glanville of Alleanza Architecture links the old with the new through skilful reimagining of the existing fabric of the double block to create a high-spec five-bedroom home with spaces for families to relax, entertain or work in total privacy. Designed to harness the northerly sunshine and create a seamless integration between indoors and out, the main living spaces open to a secret garden while the upper level features four private bedrooms and a luxurious parents' retreat. There's so much to love here with every detail perfectly executed and rich sandstone walls as the hero of the interiors but it's the unique rooftop deck that really brings the wow factor. Designed with sustainability at its core, the five-bedroom home features an 8.4kW Enphase solar power system with inverter and a double garage with Tesla Powerwall.
