“Renowned Melbourne-based designers House of Orange lend their latest project to a Domoney-designed Edwardian, where period beauty gives way to sweeping modern lines, softened light and a cultivated garden domain designed for the way families live today.”
Reimagined by Steve Domoney and further refined by the renowned House of Orange, this freestanding double-fronted Edwardian brings heritage weight and contemporary daring into one sweeping architectural curve, unfolding across a private poolside garden sanctuary on 651sqm (approx).
Soaring 3.45m-high ceilings, hardwood underfoot and original detailing that highlights the period quality within the wide entrance hall, extending to an incredible layout designed to move with family needs. To one side, a formal sitting room with an open fireplace and full-height library shelving adds refinement, adjoining the main bedroom, where a sky-lit en-suite, walk-in robes, and northern garden aspects accentuate the serenity. Three additional bedrooms extend from the hall, each with built-in robes and oversized proportions, and are served by a sleek sky-lit second bathroom, whilst a large attic space above affords possibility for additional living spaces in the future (STCA).
Domoney’s spectacular architecture finds its full expression at the rear, with walls of double glazing arcing toward the garden, introducing a radiant living and dining domain distinguished by a bluestone edge, exposed hardwood beams and recycled timber flooring. A recently renovated kitchen with Miele appliances and stone benches has been updated and designed for effortless connection to the outdoors, supported by custom-made joinery and an ambience that shifts fluidly from everyday living to entertaining, complete with a deep, underground cellar. The decking continues the interior curve, guiding the eye to fruit-laden greenery and a solar and gas-heated pool set within a sunbathing terrace, offering a lush environment for relaxed entertainment.
Only one block from St Kilda Botanical Gardens, and a short walk to local haunts on Acland Street, iconic cafes like Jerry’s Milkbar and Dickens Street Grocer, Ripponlea Station and leading schools, this designer home offers an incomparable lifestyle, complete with hydronic heating, underfloor bathroom heating, split system air conditioning, solar panels, operational Velux skylights, and secure parking via ROW.
