A 1958 villa with the character of a 1970s Australian bungalow, reimagined by RA Studio in 2022. What makes this house special only reveals itself as you walk through it: nothing out of place, anywhere. That is a deliberate choice from the renovation. On the first floor, the architect chose an open sitting area on the landing rather than an extra enclosed room; on the ground floor, the hallway was deliberately kept long and finished with extra-thick timber walls and bespoke wardrobe walls, a line continued along the side of the house. The same signature returns in the master bedroom, where the timber finish of the living floor carries through and everything has its place behind custom cabinetry. Much of the interior, cabinetry, lighting, furniture, was designed specifically for this house. The result: a home that feels more spacious than the figures on paper suggest, with a calm and quiet found in very few houses.

The garden, created by a landscape architect, wraps around the house and ends at the rear in complete privacy: an open view, no rear neighbours, no one overlooking you. The heated salt-water pool and a raised terrace overlooking the garden make the outdoor space the heart of the house from April to October. At the front: an automatic entrance gate, carport, two parking spaces plus room for a micro-vehicle (such as a Biro), a private EV charging point and a lockable, covered bicycle shed with roller shutter that easily holds five bicycles.
