Abode

This inviting, imaginatively renovated Victorian residence literally bridges both its period and the present in a design that keeps its living and accommodation zones entirely distinct from each other yet links them by an inspired, sky-lit central atrium. A street presence of pure classical appeal introduces three bedrooms and two impressively appointed fully-tiled bathrooms, including a main bedroom with a walk-in robe and elegant ensuite. High ceilings and open fire-places reflect the period origins of these sensitively styled rooms before the central courtyard and the creative atrium precede the modern proportions beyond. Living and dining spaces served by an open-plan kitchen featuring stone surfaces and stainless-steel appliances flow seamlessly to decked dimension for alfresco entertaining in the delightfully low-maintenance backdrop of an address that blends and balances classical and modern, indoors and out, with an exceptional level of success.
