This is no ordinary key to the city. Taking pride of place on a wide, character-rich avenue, ‘Ellengowan’ delivers a bold, respectfully renovated and extended four-bedroom transformation — where curves, colour, and texture rewrite tradition with unmistakable style.
From the classically refreshed façade to the foyer’s iconic Fornasetti wallpaper, it’s clear: this home plays by its own rules.
Set against a bespoke-level rebuild, even your most curated Pinterest board pales in comparison to the mastery of its Studio J Design interiors — where its high-impact re-script meets 20th-century elegance, perfect for the family, professional, or the avid host.
The elongated hallway plays with perception — a bold stroke of Annie Sloan red above, chevron-laid oak underfoot, designer wall sconces and light fixtures, and four equally sized rooms framed by shutters and fireplaces. Versatile. Refined. Effortless.
Clever details — like the hallway-splicing cavity door, wall-to-wall panelling in the primary bedroom concealing a luxe ensuite, and the tinted glass lead-in to the living zone that reflects more than just the architecture to come — showcase true design ingenuity.
Matte-finished joinery, a fully integrated appliance hub, fridge, freezer, and dishwasher, and a swathe of leathered granite benchtops, forgiving enough for the family, define the kitchen’s enigmatic edge.
The living room lightwell welcomes year-round sun, a soft breeze, and sky glimpses, while a curved pair of rear French doors (a nod to the front pickets), invites guests outside to open-air alfresco entertaining.
Cloaked in low-care landscaping and hedged privacy, it’s a space where neighbours all but disappear.
Beyond the beauty, it’s loaded with bells and whistles: app-activation for irrigation, air conditioning, arrival gates and the garage door; intercom and alarm security, plus extra-thick comfort glazing that keeps the home whisper quiet.
Impeccable style, function, and location. New tricks, old-world charm, and unique design flair — all on the city’s favourite fringe.
