This contemporary four-bedroom, three-level home sits comfortably in a heritage street lined with traditional bungalows. The sloping site allows for an 80sqm basement, a must-have for this builder-client.
Living spaces face north, leading to a pool area and lawn, making this a modern family home for a 21st century lifestyle. This has been achieved while both respecting and enhancing the streetscape.
