This thoughtfully reimagined Edwardian home for a significant Australian actor merges heritage character with contemporary fluidity, designed to offer a quiet retreat while embracing its dual-street presence in Middle Park. Originally two residences, the structure is unified at its core by a luminous glass breezeway, inviting natural light and reinforcing the seamless connection between old and new.
The interiors balance period elegance—seen in the leadlight windows, high ceilings, and Baltic pine floors—with a spatial openness that fosters movement and interaction. A flowing series of living spaces offers a dynamic interplay of privacy and openness, leading to lush gardens where a fire pit and elevated decking set the stage for quiet reflection or lively gatherings. A self-contained soundproof studio, discreetly positioned within the landscape, supports creativity or solitude as needed.
Beneath the soft glow of heated onyx flooring, the kitchen anchors the home with understated luxury, equipped for both practicality and the pleasure of shared meals. A separate wing grants further retreat, where a formal living space, an intimate sleeping quarter, and a spa-inspired ensuite overlooking a tranquil pond offer a deeply private sanctuary within the broader home.
