Light and luxury: striking new architecture behind classic façade

Beyond the traditional weatherboard exterior, light-filled luxury and a cool contemporary atmosphere unfolds, taking the transformation of Plympton character to a new level. This is an architectural accomplishment filled with serenity, simple elegance and refinement, with a matching self-contained studio nestled in the garden. What a way to join this welcoming community near the river, where fine local schools, the park, boutique shopping and restaurants are all part of the neighbourhood.

The white picket fence, timber veranda and leadlight windows hint at the history, but inside is all about the now and the new. Gleaming timber floors flow in the hallway and the bedrooms, including a spacious master suite featuring a cleverly designed wall of robes and drawers, plus a walk-in robe and a beautifully spacious en-suite bathroom with bath and frameless glass rainshower. Two more bedrooms, both with more built-in storage in glossy white cabinetry, share access to another elegant bathroom.

A large glass door divides the sleeping zones from the living space, and it is a spectacular transition. Vast high windows frame the sky, angled ceilings define the living and dining areas and natural travertine floors add texture to the bright white space. The kitchen is magnificent: waterfall island in marble, finest appliances and masses of glossy cabinetry. A sliding door reveals a large butler’s pantry/scullery, with its own fridge, sink and specialist wine fridge. Integrated cabinetry creates a study nook in the living area, and a gas log fire warms the space in winter. Extensive storage is a real feature of this home’s sleek interiors, including in the laundry, which also has a separate toilet.

The architectural angles continue in the alfresco with its tilted roof, looking out to the spacious and private rear garden. There, the weatherboard studio has been created in the style of the main home, with its own veranda, white galley kitchen, walk-in storage, and European laundry incorporated in the bathroom. Fully self-contained, it offers fantastic flexibility for extended family, possible rental income, or even independent accommodation for an au-pair.

So, do step inside to experience how this home opens up to fine contemporary living. You’ll discover that everything has been carefully considered and beautifully realised to create a stunning home behind that historic exterior, in a very special street leading down to the river.
