Landmark Home Like No Other

Somewhere between art and architecture, this unique landmark example of elegant modernism designed by renowned architect Jon Johannsen, is testament to both a respect for heritage values and patronage of bold ideas. This inspired synthesis has produced a home of great substance and scale, which at the same time resonates perfectly with its charming streetscape. The sandstone substrate and soul of the two original 1880s homes on the double block have been incorporated throughout and, along with the tallow-wood floors, give the interiors a warmth and solidity that complements a compelling mix of crisp and confident modern surfaces which reflect natural light flooding in from every angle. The multitude of beautifully layered views, living spaces, and five bedrooms are all extravagantly unconfined and atmospheric, with the living and dining zones separated by a dramatic, two-storey divide which utilises the space between the original buildings and is both a stairwell and a lightwell. This home rewards, delights, and intrigues at every turn and is offered to the market for the very first time.
