Reimagining Edwardian grace with cutting-edge contemporary design, this award-winning architectural transformation celebrates the home's historic origins and blue-chip location while presenting the utmost in contemporary indoor/outdoor family liveability.

Set behind automated gates, a marigold-yellow front door hints at the designer flair to be found within. Newly resurfaced engineered oak floorboards sweep through the expansive open-plan interiors that stretch toward the alfresco entertaining zone and Dave Franklin-designed rear garden that features a fully tiled and auto-cleaning heated pool/spa, a built-in resort-style day bed, and curved built-in alfresco deck seating. Floor-to-ceiling glass sliding stacker doors offer a seamless connection to the oasis-like outdoors and perfectly frame the heavenly view of the St. Cuthbert's church spire. A west-facing side courtyard is perfect for morning coffees and draws even more light into the living/dining space, which has a gas log fire. A three-metre-long stone island bench/breakfast bar defines the kitchen which is equipped with high-end Miele appliances including steam/combi and pyrolytic ovens, an induction cooktop and a dishwasher, while a large butler's pantry has plenty of storage and prep space, including a Zip tap.

Light-filled and spacious, with newly laid loop pile carpets, the ground-floor master bedroom is complemented by a fitted walk-in robe/dressing room, plus a lavish ensuite with garden outlooks, a stone free-standing bath and a walk-in shower. Zoned for family functionality, the newly carpeted upper level comprises a second living area, three fitted bedrooms, including one with a walk-in robe and shower ensuite, and another rear-facing with fabulous garden and church spire views, plus the luxe main bathroom.
