WHAT
Alterations and Additions
This beautifully renovated 1920s three-bedroom home has been thoughtfully updated to blend timeless character with contemporary comfort. In need of a complete refresh, both inside and out, the home underwent a stunning transformation that enhances its charm while catering to modern living.
A key upgrade was the removal of the existing detached garage, replaced with a new attached garage and an elegant extension featuring a spacious primary bedroom with an ensuite. Maintaining the home’s original character was a priority, ensuring every update complemented its heritage while improving functionality.
At the heart of the home, an inviting open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area was created, seamlessly flowing onto two separate decks that connect to the lush back garden. Thoughtfully designed window seats in both the primary bedroom and living room provide a cozy spot to relax while taking in the serene outdoor views.
To further enhance the living experience, a skylight was installed in the kitchen, flooding the space with natural light, while a new fireplace adds warmth and ambiance, creating a cozy cottage feel—perfect for gathering during the cooler months.
This beautifully revitalized home now offers the perfect balance of character, comfort, and modern convenience, making it a true sanctuary for its owner
