OBVIOUS

With an effortless marriage of architectural refinement and traditional Victorian elegance, this standalone residence—designed by esteemed firm Travis Walton Architecture—leaves more than just a strong impression. Appreciating the art in architecture, its restrained interior is finely juxtaposed with opulent finishes and peerless attention to detail, revealing a sun-drenched dual-level layout enriched with chevron oak flooring, natural Oakveneer cabinetry and sleek Calacatta marble surfaces that are simply breathtaking.

Clever, contemporary and functional design permeates the home, with a reimagined footprint allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor living to flow from the private open-plan living domain, emphasising a gorgeous bay window, and utilising space with a floating concrete fireplace hearth and upholstered banquette seating in the dining room. A suite of integrated Miele appliances sits beautifully within the Calacatta marble and natural Oak veneer kitchen, intelligently concealing the wide timber staircase with floor-to-ceiling storage. An oversized steel-framed pivot door perfectly frames the idyllic garden outlooks, inviting seamless alfresco entertaining amongst a low-maintenance setting while providing off-street secure parking - a rare and sought-after amenity in this thriving area.

Nature acts as a muse as the stunning design continues upstairs to the main suite, where deep olive green carpets and natural Oak veneer robes are highlighted with northern light through a flawless ensuite. Two additional bedrooms include the period-detailed guest room on the ground floor, catered to by a white marble bathroom, intelligently concealed behind the kitchen. Located for lifestyle excellence in a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of Carlisle and Chapel Streets and just steps from trams and trains, this impeccable home also boasts underfloor bathroom heating, Euro laundry, down-draft rangehood, aged brass detailing, reverse-cycle heating and air conditioning, open fireplace and intercom/keypad entry.

SEALS THE DEAL

This isn't just any sanctuary; it's the calm in the eye of the storm, the quiet corner in the loud party and the soothing escape in the heart of all the action.
