An addition that transforms modest beginnings into a home of openness, connection and refined modern style.
Behind its traditional façade, this Largs Bay home unfolds into a striking contemporary retreat, reimagined through a sophisticated addition that brings space, light and modern luxury.
At the heart of the home is an entertainer’s delight, a seamless open plan kitchen, living and dining area flowing to a private courtyard. The kitchen is fitted with state of the art integrated appliances, innovative finishes and Dekton benchtops, with a concealed butler’s pantry hidden behind bespoke joinery. A sculptural pendant light centres the room, allowing the atmosphere to shift effortlessly from lively gatherings to intimate evenings.
The ground floor also offers practical elegance. A family sized bathroom with a freestanding bath, walk in shower and double vanity combines indulgence with function. The laundry is equally considered, with extensive storage, hanging space and direct outdoor access.
A sleek staircase, placed with intent at the junction of old and new, leads to the master retreat. This upper level is a sanctuary with abundant wardrobe storage, a luxurious ensuite with double shower, double vanity and task lighting, and skylights controlled at the touch of a button.
By day, they open to expansive blue skies; by night, to the stars above. Generous windows frame leafy treetop vistas, including a stairwell window that perfectly captures the surrounding gums.
Throughout, refined details elevate the design, from burnished concrete floors and a seven and a half metre bagged brick feature wall, to custom joinery and a pivot door seamlessly integrated into cabinetry. The palette is calm, warm and cohesive, creating an inviting atmosphere across every space.
Externally, clean lines and carefully balanced materials define the addition. Face brickwork grounds the home, while lightweight cladding and a recessed gable add articulation and lightness. Together, they give the property a fresh identity while respecting its original scale.
This is a home designed for modern living: spacious, light filled and sophisticated, with every detail crafted for comfort, style and connection.
