The heritage modesty of the frontage, classic cottage form, decorative red brick work, pretty hedged gardens, gives way to an interior of striking volume that blends a cohesive modernity with a refined sense of history. Open plan living sits central, golden in the sunlight, as glass sliders open to both the northern swimming pool and southern deck. Glorious in white, warmed by oak floors this airy space aims skyward, anchored by the presence of the kitchen while awash in stone and seamless soft close cabinetry.

This distinguished four-bedder has been transformed by the award winning team at DNA Architects. The brief required a meticulous approach, artfully combining the old with the new, ushering this heritage beauty into the here and now. The result is a home of balance and cohesion with plenty of space for connection, creativity and celebration.

At the heart of it all lies the deep blue pool, cool, still, and endlessly inviting. More than just water, it’s the soul of the home, a mirror to the sky, a gathering place for lazy afternoons and moonlit dips.

Barefoot and blissful, life here moves to the rhythm of the sun, slow, golden, and utterly unhurried. The days stretch long and easy, each one a gentle drift from morning light to dusky glow, where time is measured in sun kissed deeper bronze skin and the sound of laughter echoing off warm walls all summer long.

As you step into the front living area you truly leave the hustle and bustle behind. Think books and objects crowding a central fireplace and soft garden light filtered through plantation shutters. Think high ceilings, intricate baton work, art hung from picture rails. The pursuit of harmony continues as you flow into the open plan kitchen, living and dining with its crescendo of light and open embrace of nature. This spacious hub easily switches modes from relaxed family togetherness to elegant entertaining poolside, so you can mark all of those significant milestones with grace.

The kitchen feels epic yet oh so refined, with its slabs of marbled stone worktops, floating island and seamless banks of soft close cabinets and drawers that hide appliances, including the double ovens and integrated dishwasher from Bosch.
Windows frame flowering camelias, box hedging and trees just now bursting into blossom.

The parent’s retreat is perfectly sequestered at the front of the home and delivers built-in-robes, ensuite bathroom and a sitting area beneath the northern windows. At the opposing end of the home, a long hallway lined with clever storage, ushers to a trio of children’s bedrooms. All the rooms are generous with the third flowing to an ensuite bathroom. There is a family bathroom a separate powder room and an internal laundry/ mudroom within the garage. All four bathrooms are finished in gorgeous tiling combing texture and pattern in a scheme of white and soft greys.
