the owners purchased this house 2 years ago, and renovated before moving in. When they bought the house it had been a much loved family home for more than 36 years. The owners carefully re-arranged the space – the dining room became the kitchen, the kitchen became the dining room and the rooms were all opened up to each other.
The result is a free flowing layout that still maintains distinct individual rooms and spaces. the owners say he used colour to create intimacy and define separate areas. The garden was given a good tidy-up and a verandah was built right around the entire rear and side facade of the house, a fantastic addition which really links the interior spaces with the generous garden!
There is so much to love about this warm, welcoming family home. It’s generous in proportion and full of life. It feels almost like a country home in the middle of Melbourne. the owners have succeeded in creating a space that feels smart yet lived-in, stylish without being precious.
They loves the local neighbourhood ‘it’s green and leafy and close to everything we need and use’ She loves the connection to the local community – ‘the butcher across the road, tram outside our door and the amazing people we have met through the kids school, kinder and other activities – we feel lucky to live where we live’ she says.
