An architect’s own re-imagination of a classic villa-unit in European style, this detached street front home now hosts leading-edge luxuries with two bedrooms, two bathrooms plus dual study/zone living This dynamic design puts a state-of-the-art Fisher & Paykel kitchen (with integrated French-door fridge, smart dishwasher and 90cm wide oven) at the heart of an expansive open-plan living-dining and offers a bonus second living zone or study with a seamless flow from a secure low maintenance and self-irrigated front garden to a protected back patio with Ziggy twin-grill natural gas BBQ. In this elite design each fan-cooled bedroom has its own magazine-quality bathroom (one a purely private ensuite beyond a walk-through robe), and a fully-appointed laundry (with Bosch washer and dryer) beside a vast linen-press. Cutting-edge architectural specification with floors, walls and hidden doors of European oak matched with eye-catching Italian tiles flowing inside-to-out. The home is a showcase of big design ideas and uncompromising little touches from stone wall-hooks to built-in bench seating, bookcase and study desk. Extra luxuries include ducted heating, Mitsubishi reverse-cycle air-conditioning, auto-gated parking, Samsung The Frame 65” & 43’’ TVs, outdoor stone 1mx2m table, Schlage keyless entry, Phoenix slimline nickel tapware and Zip Tap instant hot & cold filtration system. On the edge of the retail and rail hub, where the shopping precinct meets Hampton East’s leafiest locale and a stroll to the bay, this renovation leads you away from the everyday… toward leading-edge design.
