A new benchmark in family living is set by this stunningly re-mastered 1920s house. This is one of Williamstown’s most prized settings, just moments from The Strand foreshore, Williamstown beach, botanic gardens, cafés and shops.
Architect Steve Domoney’s flair for design is obvious in the high, angled, light-filled rooms. Luxurious polished spotted gum floorboards flow from the entry and contrast with the pristine white interior.
Left of entry is a walk-through study nook leading to the first of three generously-sized bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes. A second, light-drenched bedroom to the right of the entry has a bay window with plantation shutters.
A self-contained studio out the back is an optional fourth bedroom.
Two large living areas for entertaining are a hallmark of this grand design.
The first, at hall’s end, is north-facing, has a bay window and is warmed by a Jetmaster wood heater set in stacked stone.
Compelling visual architecture sets the second living area apart. It delivers the ‘wow factor’ with a contemporary fireplace, sensational high ceilings and expansive glass with views to a fish pond in a bamboo garden setting.
An exquisite bespoke kitchen will excite the master chef in any family with a commercial grade 900mm SMEG oven, gas cooktop, rangehood, integrated dishwasher, stainless-steel benchtops and a massive stone island bench. There’s endless storage in high gloss white cabinetry, all complemented by on-trend polished concrete floors.
The main bathroom (tucked behind a door off the living hub) is fully tiled and has a bath, glass double shower and a temperature-control unit.Upstairs, the mezzanine main bedroom and retreat make a great impression, with a stunning en suite complete with a walk-in shower with glass screen and a floating timber vanity beneath a custom mirror which is the width of the room.
Stacked doors remove an entire wall for seamless indoor and outdoor dining in the manicured backyard. Extras include off-street parking in a lockable car port, ducted heating and air-conditioning.
