Your refreshed home is a template of how to do a renovation well. It shows what can be achieved when a sensitive approach to a character refurbishment is executed to an exacting level and new life is breathed into an older dwelling. None of your home's inherent charm has been diluted and some original features have been retained, including the brick fireplace. Fresh and appealing, and recognising the importance of outdoor living, your home delivers an enviable lifestyle in a very handy location. It is neatly tucked behind a gate on a large, leafy site close to Hillcrest shops, schools, cafes, sports grounds, Hamilton Gardens, the CBD, and expressways. Its warmth, comfort, indoor-outdoor flow, and big backyard will be enjoyed for decades to come. The renovation is the culmination of hard work undertaken over two and a half years. The roof was replaced only last year, and new paintwork, ceiling and underfloor insulation, a heat pump and HRV were installed in 2022. The heightened level of creature comforts is a huge boon. Other benefits include infinity gas hot water, an upgraded dishwasher, panel heaters, landscaped gardens, and extended fencing. The addition of a large new deck off the living and dining areas extends entertaining opportunities and encourages everyday relaxation. Kids can play to their heart's content on the flat backyard festooned with majestic trees while adults chill out on the alfresco. Kitchen and bathroom take on a contemporary look and the central lounge draws family together in a cosy, sociable environment. This project is a blueprint for infusing contemporary style into a character home. You'll love the inspired reno and the super-handy locality.
