Winner of the 2019 (AIDA) Australian Interior Design Awards - Residential Design, this home was also shortlisted for the 2019 Australian Institute of Architects, (Victorian chapter) for the best alterations and additions.

Inspired design, superb craftsmanship, and great connection to the environment have delivered two separate living areas, an open-plan kitchen and dining area coupled with a first-level main bedroom with ensuite. It also includes a powder room, laundry and off-street parking for two cars.

Contemporary interiors have layered block walls with abundant glass and timber and stone finishes.

Instead of doing the usual long extension, the architects created fabulous light wells and walls of glass that look onto the gardens and a two-storey wing, making this unique home a calm and tranquil retreat.

The outdoor spaces by award-winning horticultural design consultancy, Vivid Design invite you outside at every opportunity. The central hall leads to the living room where wide glass sliders open to the low maintenance garden courtyard for outdoor entertaining and dining.

The custom-designed kitchen with state-of-the art Ggaggenau appliances, Tundra limestone benches, double integrated fridge/freezer and the warmth of timber, steps down to the dining area and family living room also with garden outlooks.

Downstairs three generous bedrooms with high ceilings, decorative fireplaces, built-in robes and plantation shutters share a contemporary bathroom. The ground floor also includes a powder room, and European laundry.

A timber-battened staircase leads to the luxurious main suite with a wall of timber wardrobes and a stone ensuite that evokes a spa sanctuary.

Luxury additions include smart home automation, keyless entry, hydronic heating, CCTV, triple glazing, heating and cooling, electric blinds and garden irrigation. Families are sure to love this home's convenience, just metres to Glenferrie Road, shops and trams, with easy access to many of Melbourne's best schools and freeway to the Peninsula and CBD.
