THE DEAL
“Aurora”
An enchanting double-fronted profile and lovely picket fence give Aurora an immediate sense of presence, but it’s what unfolds beyond that truly takes your breath away. Behind the captivating c1889 façade and newly landscaped gardens, an elegant renovation draws on light, proportion and a material richness, forming a home that feels warm, inviting and distinctly contemporary.
Herringbone oak flooring lines the central hallway beneath 3.2 metre ceilings, branching to three generous bedrooms and a modern, light-filled bathroom. The first bedroom is dramatic and well-appointed, with wall-to-wall custom panelling and full-height robes, whilst the main suite is decadent, enhanced by a fitted walk-in robe and a sublime en suite, draped in travertine and striking Blue Palomino Quartzite, which balances perfectly with brushed gold fixtures, a sky-lit ceiling over the shower and the warmth of under-tile heating.
A light court forms a centrepiece between a series of living zones, where a traditional marble open fire and double-glazed bay windows define a change from period to contemporary, capturing northern light and garden outlooks in their entirety. The adjoining kitchen, finished in stone with stainless steel appliances, flows easily into the living space and out through French doors to the rear yard, shrouded in lush greenery and all-day sun, offering the perfect setting for slow mornings, long lunches or casual evenings that carry on outdoors. There’s room here to extend the designer vision even further, but it already feels complete, with an independent studio retreat/laundry at the rear with potential to convert in a fourth bedroom.
Details are exquisite. From the brand new Buster + Punch switches and gold trim accents, to hydronic heating, slimline ducted reverse-cycle air and rear lane access for off street parking. Smart living is built in, with I-Zone app-controlled home automation placing comfort and convenience at your fingertips. While the location places you within easy reach of Glenferrie Road, Camberwell Junction shopping, trams, the European ambience of Auburn Village, Swinburne University, and leading schools, including Scotch College and St Kevins.
