An exquisite architecturally designed and internationally published home by Damian Rogers and known as The Leaf House, masterfully blends a majestic 1890s Victorian home with a bold extension of alluring angles and vast yet ambient spaces. Most homes dont feature in the Victorian Architecture Awards, Inside Out Magazine Aus and UK magazines, but then this is not just any home!
Quietly nestled within a tree lined street, you are instantly intrigued as to the design that promises an exceptionally configured family floorplan, a brilliant interior design by locally based Jessica Bettenay and a symphony of finishes and features to tantalise the senses. Landscaped, superbly detailed and utterly chic with a flexible floorplan to accommodate a minimum of three bedrooms, each unique and inspiring.
The first bedroom boasts a study and walk in robe concealed behind a feature wall, the second with a fun reading loft, both sharing a spectacular family bathroom with reclaimed European Church floor tiles, stone benchtops and huge double shower. The master bedroom is of grand proportions with soaring ceilings, skylights, a concealed walk in robe, bespoke bathroom with hand-made stone egg bath, turquoise themed tiles and Italian porcelain tiled shower, with an upstairs private office or studio.
Sunbathed with a central glass light-well, the kitchen-living area is a stunning masterpiece without compromise and encompassing a Falcon cast iron oven and cooktop, integrated dishwasher, butlers pantry, marble island bench with breakfast bar and concealed study or office. Open-plan, the spectacular living room showcases a Corten Steel (rust-look) wall, open fireplace, exposed aggregate concrete floor and bi-fold doors that seamlessly invites the outdoors in. Theres a separate dining room with sliding doors that leads out to a second alfresco courtyard, with both linked by a pond. Stairs lead up to the rooftop garden of four wicking garden beds and a private and romantic champagne or tea party deck!
A plethora of enticing inclusions with a serene library, designer laundry, hydronic heating, evaporative ducted cooling, plantation shutters, off-street parking and Sussex tapware to name just a few! A truly superb location near schools, Williamstown Train, cafes, restaurants and hospital with easy access to the Westgate Freeway and CBD.
