Expressions of Interest

Reimagined from its 1854 origins, this remarkable heritage residence has been transformed into a calm, cohesive contemporary home of exceptional quality and character. Designed by award-winning designer Carole Whiting as her own home, a striking rear pavilion introduces volume, light and architectural clarity, seamlessly connecting heritage and modern elements in a refined, highly liveable composition.

The original timber cottage has been meticulously restored, preserving its proportions and period detailing, while the rear addition expands the home for contemporary living. Defined by a pitched roof and expansive glazing, the pavilion draws in northern light, creating a voluminous open-plan living and dining domain.

A consistent geometric language unifies the interiors. Checkerboard tiling anchors the entry, kitchen, bathrooms and hearth, while timber floorboards soften the central living zone. The reinstated heritage staircase, is wrapped in a warm grey tone that extends into the front room, where gingham wallpaper continues the rhythmic dialogue of pattern.

The ground floor offers exceptional flexibility, including a generous front living room or third bedroom, and a window seat overlooking the garden. The expansive open-plan living and dining area centres around a wood-burning fireplace and is framed by Belgian linen curtains and a full wall of sliding glass doors opening to the garden.

The kitchen is comprehensively appointed with premium V-ZUG appliances, including a downdraft cooktop, combi steam oven, warming drawer, integrated dishwasher and fully integrated stainless steel fridge. Dolomite benchtops, Pittella tapware, and extensive concealed storage — including a discreet pantry-laundry — ensure both functionality and visual calm.

Upstairs, an oversized master bedroom with a sloped ceiling opens through original French doors to a generous verandah. Bathrooms are richly layered with checkerboard tiling, mosaic accents and microcement, and feature high-end fittings including an Agape bathtub and double vanity. A second bedroom enjoys garden outlooks, complemented by extensive hallway storage.

A deeply atmospheric home that balances intimacy and openness, heritage and modernity — all just moments from the CBD.
