Splendid renewal: curvy deco, sharp interiors

Presiding over an elevated corner block is a magnificent piece of inter-war architecture built of local limestone and brick in the 1930s when deco curves were all the rage. Now, an impeccable renovation has created a beautiful contemporary home that really embraces indoor-outdoor flow and the northern light. The treasured historic features are still there – jarrah floors, high ceilings and leadlights – co-existing with the refined lines of the brilliant new kitchen and bathrooms. Just steps away from the park, with the river, George Street restaurants and Petra Street shopping all close by, this quiet enclave of leafy streets and character homes is a delightful place to live.

A curvy path leads through the garden up to the impressive curved veranda and leadlight entry. Inside, jarrah floors have been stained graphite as a link to the new interior design.
The original lounge room, with a striking deco fireplace, welcomes the northern sun. The heart of the home opens up to a fabulous open-plan space and sensational kitchen. A waterfall island bench in engineered stone takes centre stage, with extensive minimalist cabinetry in white and graphite. The clean lines of the space are easily maintained, as a scullery behind the kitchen is a fantastic work area, with big sink, dishwasher and more cabinetry, with laundry and storage room beyond, leading outside to the handy outdoor loo.

The kitchen flows to open-plan living and dining, where a wall of glass doors opens up to a northern outdoor dining deck next to the veranda – just perfect for entertaining and enjoying the garden. Inside, a home office is tucked away beyond the living space. There are three lovely bedrooms, all with built-in storage, plantation shutters and ceiling fans. The two larger bedrooms face the garden and make the most of the northern light filtering through the leadlights. Two bathrooms share the same sharply luxurious design, with engineered stone tops and full-height subway tiling.

This is a treasured home that has been given fresh life for the 21st century, with great care and excellent taste. See for yourself how deco curves and new minimalism work beautifully together, in a light-filled family home in a fine neighbourhood.
