A captivating architectural renovation and striking two storey extension by ST-Architects have completely reimagined this timeless Californian bungalow into a breathtaking contemporary sanctuary, where soaring proportions, natural light and impeccable bespoke detail converge in perfect harmony. Beyond a charming period façade the residence opens to a dramatic high-ceilinged foyer and continues to reveal a sequence of refined, light-filled spaces, framed by vast double glazed windows and doors that welcome in northern light and expansive sky views. Timber floors and custom cabinetry provide warmth, texture and contemporary practicality throughout, underscoring the home’s extraordinary craftsmanship, where every detail has been carefully considered.

Anchored by a sublime marble island and natural Venus Gold marble benchtops, the kitchen is both luxurious and functional, enhanced by a suite of Miele appliances and complemented by a fully equipped butler’s pantry with second stove top and wine storage. The living domain is a true centrepiece, voluminous and awe inspiring, with over six-metre ceilings and full height glazing, designed to blur the line between indoors and out. A picture window perfectly frames the heated lap pool, while a sculptural spiral staircase, illuminated by motion sensing light strips, creates a moment of architectural theatre.

Upstairs, plush carpet flows through the bright retreat to the principal bedroom that provides the ultimate luxury along with panoramic vistas of the surrounding treetops, complemented by a walk in robe and exquisite ensuite with a magical skylight above the freestanding bathtub. Each of the five generous bedrooms (including the ground floor guest bedroom) features ample built in or walk in robes and elegant ensuites, all adorned with natural marble finishes and perfectly tailored timber cabinetry. Formal living and dining rooms harness the grandeur of a bygone era, complete with glorious period features, providing a third living zone, together with a sunlight filled study/tea and yoga room which overlooks the gorgeous pool and alfresco area, confirming idyllic family versatility.

A luxe sixth bathroom and separate laundry are accompanied by considered storage solutions and fully integrated ambient lighting. Thoughtfully appointed for year-round comfort, the home is fitted with and multi zoned air conditioning. Additional highlights include an easily maintained, fully irrigated landscaped garden, double garage with internal access, off street parking and a north facing undercover terrace, ideal for year round entertaining.

Set in an established neighbourhood, this remarkable home is zoned for Hartwell Primary and Camberwell High School, with an excellent selection of private schools nearby. Fordham’s Milk Bar and Hartwell station and playground are just around the corner, along with Anniversary Trail parklands, Camberwell Road (No 75) trams and Camberwell Junction shopping.
