24 Seymour Avenue, Armadale

Effortlessly blending heritage grace with cutting-edge contemporary design, this reimagined residence by Tom Robertson Architects is a statement in refined modern living. Behind a beautifully preserved period façade, the home unfolds into a bold, light-filled extension defined by generous proportions, exquisite natural materials, and a seamless blend between old and new. The original front rooms celebrate the home’s heritage origins, showcasing ornate ceiling roses, cornices, and a timeless fireplace. Thoughtful restoration meets intelligent reinvention, with a flexible front living zone or home office complementing a generous ground-floor main bedroom with green vistas to the front garden. The large serene main suite features extensive built-in robes and a skylit ensuite, the perfect configuration for single-level living, guest accommodation, or parental privacy. At the heart of the home, a striking double-height void forms a dramatic architectural centerpiece, an interplay of light, texture, and space that connects the old-world elegance to the bold contemporary extension. Here, everyday life and entertaining combine in an expansive open-plan living, dining, and kitchen domain anchored by Elba marble. A full marble splashback and an oversized Elba marble island bench make a sculptural statement, while a hidden walk-in pantry and integrated appliances ensure effortless functionality. Expansive floor-to-ceiling sliders connect the inside and out, opening to a north-facing terrace and established landscaped garden—an idyllic setting for alfresco dining and gatherings with family and friends. The ground floor is further enhanced by a second bedroom serviced by a main bathroom, a separate marble powder room for guests, a climate-controlled wine cellar, and a thoughtfully designed mudroom with triple access points from the driveway, interior, and garden—perfect for family life, pets, and practical daily living. A separate laundry with direct outdoor access adds to the home’s layered functionality. A sculptural staircase rises beneath a glass ceiling and double-height void, guiding you to the upper level where natural light filters through north-facing floor-to-ceiling windows. The upstairs zone offers a versatile rumpus or retreat area with built-in desk and cabinetry, two generous bedrooms, and a central family bathroom—perfect for visiting guests or future generations. Designed with both beauty and practicality in mind, this residence offers a rare combination of architectural distinction, enduring quality, and adaptable living. Equally suited to a young family seeking space and style or downsizers wanting a luxurious home with single-level capability, it is a home of timeless appeal and effortless sophistication. To further compliment the home, additional features include alarm system and cameras that can be controlled remotely as well as key code entry at the front gates, ducted heating and cooling throughout, gas fireplace in the main living area, landscaped gardens and off street carparking secured by electric automatic gates. Situated right off High Street, the location of the home speaks for itself- just minutes away from the lifestyle of High Street Armadale, Glenferrie Road, Armadale train station and close to surrounding Schools and transport.
