An extraordinary achievement in contemporary architecture, this stunning residence delivers an exceptional standard of family living and entertaining.
Designed by local architect Terry Mitton (Eplus Architecture), it was one of his earliest developments utilising a large lot in a heritage area with an existing cottage; the resultant rear battleaxe lot became the secluded site for this classic contemporary residence.
The bi-level design combines generous proportions with a palette of natural stone, timber and bespoke finishes, creating a residence that feels both comfortable and timeless.
The refined blend of contemporary architecture and craftsmanship is angled to take advantage of the northerly aspect, capture natural light and provide ultimate privacy. The interiors present a clean, minimalist aesthetic with few doors, high square-set ceilings and angles that open up to reflect light and create private spaces with landscape views from almost every window.
From the tree-lined driveway, the statement entry foyer and soaring void create an immediate sense of volume, light, and drama.
The ground-floor spinal hallway separating living and sleeping spaces passes a standout dining room large enough to seat family feasts or large-scale dinner parties.
A wall of glass stackers with automated drapes slide back to reveal a private alfresco courtyard lined with olive trees and featuring a motorised retractable awning for year-round use.
Every detail of the refurbished kitchen offers style and practicality for entertaining and everyday living.
It showcases the highest standard of design and functionality with a substantial stone-topped, waterfall-end island for casual dining, 900 mm Miele gas/electric cooking appliances, bespoke electric opening and vertical lift cabinetry, a pair of integrated dishwasher drawers, an integrated fridge space, and a sizeable walk-in pantry hidden behind pocket doors with cabinet fronts.
Step through double glass doors from the kitchen to a paved sunlit corner for a quiet breakfast or morning coffee.
The spacious living room features a recessed ceiling, square porthole-style windows, and a wall of glazed stacking doors with stunning views of the shimmering turquoise-lined pool and city views beyond. It's ideal for a relaxing weekend or entertaining, with an adjacent bathroom conveniently placed for pool users.
The lower level also includes the storage-enhanced laundry with external access to a hidden drying area, two generous bedrooms with built-in robes/desks, and a shared two-way bathroom.
The upper level includes a fourth bedroom with access to a wrap-around deck affording awe-inspiring city vistas and another retractable awning.
The home's crowning jewel is the master bedroom. Waking to stunning city views through a picture window is the perfect setting, whatever the weather or season. The bedroom has direct deck access, a fitted walk-in robe and an ensuite with a muscle-soothing spa bath.
Additional features include an auto double garage with concealed storage, solar pool heating, a spacious filter/pump room, and landscaped nooks around every corner.
65 Rowan Street offers the ultimate private lifestyle within easy walking distance from the CBD, the Arts Precinct, dining and cafe facilities, schooling options including Girton College, and just about everything you could need for a connected lifestyle.
