Tucked away in a cherished Kingsville setting famed for its trees, heritage and overarching community atmosphere, this extended classic (c. 1926) brings bright, adaptable, efficient and future-focused design to the lifestyle only the inner west can offer.

Past a façade framed by foliage and as endearing as ever, the home unfolds over a pair of sumptuous levels, striking the perfect balance between classical craftsmanship and modern simplicity. Robe-lined second/third bedrooms and an oversized fourth bedroom/study are well-served by a blue-tile bathroom/laundry with sun pouring through a feature skylight – all ideal counterparts to a loft-style upper master with its own raked ceiling, wealth of storage and floor-heated ensuite.

Fireside living, broad dining and barbecue alfresco areas form an indoor-outdoor suite making every occasion one to remember, spilling into a backyard sublime for a morning espresso or afternoon’s respite among the trees and tranquillity. Towering above, a vaulted ceiling brings depth and atmosphere to a limestone, Neff, Asko and Blum-equipped kitchen – the full height filled by windows casting colours and sunlight, recycled timber features and a Swedish steel-frame door stepping onto the deck.

Completely turnkey while ever-true to its character, the home’s other highlights include ducted heating, reverse-cycle heating/cooling, ceiling speakers, attic storage, mood lighting, clever ventilation, a wine rack, Tasmanian oak front fence and bluestone garage with easy ROW access, along with Baltic pine floors, stained glass and ceiling details keeping originality alive.
