Meticulous custom finishes are the hallmark of this superb inner-city
residence that triumphantly unites modern livability with bespoke
styling to present a classically grand, Colonial-era house that at its
heart remains a welcoming family home.



Originally built in the early 1900s, the property underwent a complete
transformation just four years ago with the detailed renovation not only
seeing the house elevated and extended, but also scrupulously
overhauled. As such every facet of the project has been addressed, with
all windows UV treated and tinted, the floors acoustically lined and the
entire residence comprehensively wired for air-conditioning, security
and technology. The same dedication is apparent in the high level of
presentation, with the chosen finishes perfectly mirroring the classic
design aesthetic, being both highly refined yet significantly bespoke in
nature. French oak hardwood floors now run seamlessly throughout, many
of the light fixtures are reconditioned antique chandeliers and all of
the cornices and joinery offer classic profile and proportion so as to
bridge the gap between the old and new. Even the paneling around the
television is completely unique, having been hand-painted on silk by the
illustrious firm of De Gournay in France.



All living areas present as one unified zone on the upper floor and
incorporate multiple spaces for relaxing and dining along with a large
Northeast-facing, wrap-around veranda (complete with recycled Teak
decking and city views), that is easily assimilated as an additional
entertainment option when needed. The prominently placed kitchen is well
realized, with an impressive Carrara marble-clad island bench (complete
with under lighting), the full suite of Miele appliances and
streamlined cabinetry.
