16 Venn Street

Reimagined for contemporary living, this early 20th century Federation home is a study in maximising space and mastering perspectives. Luxurious and suffused with natural light, the elegant interiors are the work of internationally recognised textile and interior designer Alexandru Vintila, whose confident integration of antique, vintage and contemporary style has created a home of remarkable originality. The interior design is complemented externally by an equally innovative landscape. Walls and hedges enclose a unique blend of Mediterranean classic, Old World romance and New World xeriscape, wherein green walls clothed with climbing fig and Virginia creeper, table grapes overhead and a shaded citrus walk provide a level of comfort, productivity and aesthetic appeal in rare combination. Positioned within walking distance of Hyde Park, multiple schools, shopping strips and cafes, this one-of-a-kind residence offers stylish living and entertaining in one of Perth's most desirable neighbourhoods.
