The classic façade of this reimagined bungalow hides a contemporary redesign, rebuild, and extension by Architecture Graduate, Bonnie Marcus and builder, 1:1 Building that will leave you speechless. Thoughtful design, natural materials, soaring ceilings, light filled spaces, and moody adventurous colour palettes combine to make this property, set on a wide tree lined street in a quiet neighbourhood pocket within easy reach of both Mayfield and Waratah, an absolute standout.
Designed with a focus on quality and effortless sustainable living, this three bedroom home merges the existing cottage with a soaring light filled addition, creating a contemporary blend of original character, bold personality and cutting edge design that is truly extraordinary. Generously proportioned, with richly layered interiors, the home has been striped back to the framework and rebuilt and extended with exceptional attention to detail. Both the original house and new build are engineered for thermal efficiency and longevity and use sustainable materials and technology to deliver comfort and luxury throughout.
From the practical floor plan featuring a welcoming side entry, three oversized bedrooms (one with ensuite), a show-stopping family bathroom, generous laundry with full height linen storage, an expansive living and kitchen addition, and a self-contained studio; to the comfort features of double-glazed windows and doors, ducted AC, ceiling fans, and cork tiled flooring, no detail of this exceptional property has been left to chance.
