7 Durkin St, Newport VIC 3015, Australia

Rescued, revived and re-invented by a renovation of memorable designer flair and meticulous attention to detail, this Californian has become a family home of unforgettable style in a location of outstanding appeal. Consummate comfort defines four double bedrooms, including a main bedroom that retains is period fire-place and features a walk-in robe and superb ensuite, while the central family bathroom confirms the care and quality of the renovation. A formal lounge with its own classic fire-place, beautiful timber floors and elegant shutters sets a timeless tone that’s complemented by sensational separate living/dining dimensions where the message is unmistakably modern. Polished concrete with sub-floor hydronic heating and an open-plan kitchen that’s sleek, sophisticated and impressively appointed accompany these light-filled spaces that flow to a fabulous alfresco area – a refined outdoor room really – before elegant landscaping, a studio with storage, powder-room and a garage accessed at the rear by a sliding gate create an ideal conclusion. Central heating/refrigerated cooling, security system and substantial attic reached by drop down ladder further enhance a home that embraces its fresh identity and delivers irresistible allure – with council approval for a cross over – close to Mason Street, schools, parks and Newport station.
