A superior example of its era, architect-renovated in superb style, this is where yesterday’s grace meets today’s family space. Built in 1923 and impeccably maintained, Seville is an exceptional example of Californian Bungalow architecture with a lavish leadlight entry, extensive panelling and a fine fireplace all set against the backdrop of an excellent contemporary renovation designed by leading Bayside architect, Peter Wright. Expertly re-imagined with beautifully detailed original rooms transitioning to soaring sun-bathed family living, this area home’s well-balanced four bedroom plus fitted study, two bathroom design provides a place to relax by the fire in a gracious formal lounge, spaces to soak up the sun with a vast family zone opening through bi-folds to a covered al fresco area …and opening northwards through French doors to a paved side garden. Designed for family harmony with a private master-suite (with ensuite and walk-in robe) and a clever garden-access fourth bedroom ideal as separate-entry home-office, this artful architect design features a prestige appliance kitchen with walk-in pantry, a well-fitted study nook and bespoke cabinetry including media area and fitted robes. Finished to a demanding specification with Italian imported tiles and designer fittings for both brand-new bathrooms, this centrally heated and air-conditioned home has sculptural ceiling fans for every bedroom, curvaceous pendant lighting home for the family zone and a mix of newly-polished Baltic pine boards and Brushbox hardwood flooring. Perfectly practical with attic storage and off-street parking, the home is set in creatively landscaped grounds with vegie boxes to harvest and lawns for play, even the location is superior – on a highly-sought period streetscape between EE Gunn Reserve and Ormond’s strip and station, a walk to private and primary schools.
