This renovated residence has been opened up for indoor/outdoor entertaining with a flexible, contemporary design. For sale by Sam Hobbs and James Smith of The Agency.
Behind the classic terrace façade on a tranquil street, this St Kilda residence has been transformed into a modern home with a brilliant connection with the outdoors.
"The calibre of the home’s renovation is first class - black steel framed doors that open onto the alfresco deck, custom soft-closing kitchen cabinetry and designer lighting throughout ensure this entertainer’s haven is a cut above the rest," Sam Hobbs told WILLIAMS MEDIA.
Source: The AgencyFeaturing a flowing design by architect Nick Harding of Ha Architecture Product & Environment, the terrace home has been opened up to the north light, reconfiguring the traditional front rooms to connect the front sitting room, TV room and kitchen/meals area. Yet each space remains distinctive, flexible and light-filled.
"This unique terrace house has been renovated to have a considered interface to the garden landscape," Nick Harding told WILLIAMS MEDIA. "The kitchen / meals area is encompassed by garden whereby seating situations are carved into the garden beds. The kitchen doors can retract and the garden defines an idyllic private garden and entertaining space, with privacy in this rare inner city locale. It is a unique three level home with a beautiful outlook to a north facing birch and olive tree garden."
Original details have been retained, so that custom made cabinets and wall units sit happily beside original marble fireplaces and lighting by designers Christopher Boots and Anna Charlesworth, who designed the handmade brass wall lights featured throughout.
Source: The AgencyThe kitchen area is the heart of the home, positioned on the ground floor with the living areas, but forming the first floor at the rear of the house above a lower ground bedroom suite. The kitchen includes bespoke black and white graphic floor tiles, soft-closing black cabinetry, handmade green splashback tiles, heavy duty oven and cooktop, industrial- style polished concrete benchtops and integrated fridge/freezer.
This space extends outside for entertaining via black steel-framed doors which open on two sides to a walled deck that hosts a pizza oven, vertical garden and built-in seating.
