Tucked away in a leafy side-street seconds from the local verve, this fully renovated prize strikes an inspired balance between classic and modern, harnessing every ounce of Art Deco charm in an architectural rework shaped around light, space and clever simplicity.

Staged by manicured flora and a timeless façade, a broad front porch proves superb for sunsets chatting away with the neighbours, with spaces beyond as evocative as they are adaptable. Robe-lined main and guest bedrooms, a fireside lounge/third bedroom and smart bathroom with a separate powder room compose spacious, sumptuous accommodation, while at the end of a welcoming hallway, a breathtaking rear domain brings entertaining to the fore.

A first-class redesign by James Staughton (Workshop Architecture) sees sun and shadow cast by a custom pergola, filtered by oversized windows and draped across a living/dining area, while beautifully curated natives form a garden backdrop weaving calm into daily life. Stainless-steel worktops, upscale appliances and a walk-in pantry feature in a kitchen that rewards a passion for cooking, while sliders merge inside and out, revealing an alfresco deck divine for drinks, barbecues and quiet mornings soaking in the serenity.

Framing the gardens, the home offers a host of appealing features, including hydronic heating, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, timber floors, abundant storage, a European laundry, a sizeable shed and off-street parking for two cars.
