A sensational renovation by renowned designer Mikayla Rose of Melbourne's Heartly Design Studio has infused this classic 4-bedroom villa with stunning contemporary flair and light-filled family comfort. A timeless palette of timber and stone features throughout, with the spectacular kitchen being recognised as one of Australian House & Garden magazine's top 50 rooms of 2017.

The original part of the house celebrates Federation features that are enhanced by chic modern elements. Outside, a return veranda with tessellated tiles wraps around the freestone faade to an entry with leadlight panels. Inside an L-shaped hallway introduces generous family accommodation comprising a large living room, bespoke study/ home office, and 4 bedrooms including a gorgeous master with dressing room and stylish ensuite freshly upgraded in 2019. Designer fixtures and fittings include high-end wallpapers and lighting, custom cabinetry, built-ins and plantation shutters. Of particular note is the beautifully executed family bathroom with egg bath, herringbone marble tiles, timber cabinetry and black tapware.

A timber pivot door marks the point where old and new fuse. The sunken raked roof open-plan living extension is a showpiece of harmonious architecture designed to maximize northern light. An original stone wall has been restored and up-lit, and is mirrored in a feature fireplace with gas fire flanked by full height windows and window seats from which to soak up the sun. American oak boards ground the space and connect living with the superb kitchen boasting a timber and Caesarstone island bench, integrated European appliances, and Statuario marble porcelain splashback. Oak veneer pivot doors cleverly conceal a pantry/laundry and mudroom/study nook.
