Comprehensively rebuilt under the masterful eye of Techne Architects, this 3 bedroom residence presents a captivating synthesis of contemporary designer flair, state-of-the-art technology, superior energy efficiency and the home's exquisite 1890s brick Victorian facade. Boldly creating a clear distinction between the traditional and the contemporary, the home is filled with the light of its privileged northerly orientation and manages to balance an impressive sense of proportion with wonderful intimacy, in one of Melbourne's most sought-after positions between Albert Park Village and South Melbourne Market. Fully re-stumped, re-wired, re-plumbed and brilliantly extended, this is a recently renovated residence - still under builder's warranty - in which the attention to detail is impressive and the flow to open-plan living is most alluring. Upliftingly bright, with broad Mafi European Oak flooring under foot, the home culminates in an open-plan where the kitchen presents an inspired blend of the functional and the aesthetic. Italian Cararra Marble benches - cut from the one piece - are tastefully merged with a suite of the very finest appliances, whilst a Wolf oven, steam oven and cooktop are refined companions to a concealed Liebherr refrigerator, a black under-mount Blanco sink, black tapware and volumes of soft close cabinetry. As the open-plan spills lavishly outdoors to a paved, north-facing, courtyard that is shaded by a retractable awning, the home quickly reveals its al fresco entertainers' spirit, in which a fully-integrated stainless steel kitchen is surrounded by built-in bench seating.
