This prized, heritage residence is an ode to balance. Traditional and contemporary. Functional and beautiful. Private and communal.

Complimenting the home’s rich history, award-winning Splinter Society have created impressive spaces filled with light and modernity. You move through the seamless floor plan under the original gable forms, textured roof tiles, intricate timber work and textured renders. In modern balance, sunlight streams through a double-height foyer within the building's centre. Raked plaster and timber screens manipulate the light rays into animated textures and shadow play.

This home is designed for family members to live in harmony. Open, flowing, spacious rooms are balanced with private, carefully lit spaces, allowing for diverse activities to be practised in peace. Great care was taken to clearly seclude tranquil working spaces without losing connection to the shared home.

The stunning landscaping by award-winning Eckersley Garden Architecture seamlessly blends natural beauty with sophisticated design, creating an enchanting environment both inside and outside the property. Thoughtfully curated plantings, sculptural greenery, and harmonious outdoor spaces provide a sense of tranquillity and refinement, enhancing the connection between architecture and nature. Whether viewed through expansive windows or experienced firsthand, the landscape design offers year-round beauty, transforming every perspective into a work of art.

Luxury, efficiency, and sustainability come together with state-of-the-art features, including zoned heating and cooling, Miele appliances, and a Tesla charger with 3-phase power. A 10kW solar system, separate pool solar heating, hydronic heating, and wireless irrigation ensure eco-conscious comfort year-round. Whether entertaining guests or enjoying the space with family, premium amenities such as a Vintec wine cabinet, built-in Artusi BBQ, Focal internal ceiling speakers, and Bose garden speakers elevate every experience.
