Secured behind a sophisticated frontage, 'Lila' (1910) has been masterfully renovated to celebrate both its Federation heritage and the best of modern-day architectural innovation.
Designed by leading architect Eva-Marie Prineas of Studio Prineas, the home has been applauded for its design prowess across multiple architectural and interior design publications, with the renovation focusing on maximising light, floor area and liveability. Highlighting the transition from old to new through a spectacular glazed internal garden, an abundance and strategic use of glass sustainably warms and lightens the spacious everyday living areas. Northern winter sun streams into the family room through an elevated window whilst oversized 2.6m stacker doors welcome the outside and cross-breeze in.
The perfect host for family gatherings, the central dining room is large enough to seat 10 comfortably and is heated by a sympathetically restored wood burning fireplace. Heated tiles unite the family room and custom kitchen, the kitchen is equipped with an integrated refrigerator, brand new semi-integrated Miele dishwasher, Ilve gas cooktop and a brand new 800mm Ilve oven. Incorporating endless storage solutions throughout, a wall of joinery conceals appliances, cabinetry and an oversized laundry with folding bench, drying rail and sink.
Respectfully retaining much of original charm of the early 1900s, ceiling roses, an ornate archway, pull lights and decorative fireplaces all feature in the front section of the home. Crowned by a whole floor master suite, the top floor also provides for a dedicated work-from-home space.
Enviably positioned within a leafy yet supremely central Cammeray pocket, take a leisurely stroll up to nearby Miller Street cafes and travel into the city centre in a matter of minutes.
