Seamlessly crafted: Modern living meets rich history
Recipient of multiple local and international awards, Elm Seed House is more than a restoration - it's a profound transformation of a century old bungalow to a modern, forward-thinking residence with exceptional architectural design credentials. Rich in history and character with the utmost respect for its heritage roots, it’s a home that transcends the ordinary, of entertaining and of serene family life.
Perfectly located in a quiet, and community-focused neighbourhood, this exceptional residence sees five generous bedrooms, two meticulously crafted bathrooms and secure, off-street parking and integrated outdoor living spaces. Additional amenities include spacious study, large walk-in robe, full sized laundry, ducted air conditioning throughout, natural log fire, integrated joinery, and home audio system plus ample storage.
Careful consideration of space and beautiful execution of detail strikes a balance between period features and contemporary elements - from restored stained glass windows and ceiling roses, to hand-crafted spotted gum pivot door, custom patina steel elements and integrated indoor planter. Sitting at the confluence of old and new is the fernery, a tranquil space both functional and serene, paired with the dense planter that provides connections with nature and softens the thresholds between inside and out.
The northern facing rear extension is sun-drenched and follows the site topography, resolving a dramatic sunken lounge with integrated seating positioned under soaring four-metre ceilings. The bold yet refined chef's kitchen with sintered stone benchtops and sculptural tapware is entirely integrated, with a sizeable butler’s pantry housing wine display and side access to outdoor storage and garden. Ample dining space sits adjacent the reading nook with a series of sashless windows, offering sustainably minded passive cross-ventilation throughout the spaces.
External landscape presents formally to the street, and less structured to the rear, with low maintenance native planting attracting a variety of birdlife. Cascading planting falls over the rear stairs, and the outdoor sitting space serves as the dining room of choice in the warmer months under the cool shade of the trees, adapting from lively entertainment hub to serene retreat. Decks unfold into versatile seating spaces - from intimate nooks to shaded dining, and the expansive lawns invite playful adventures, embracing both spectacle and spontaneity.
Located in proximity to the best Brunswick has to offer, Elm Seed House is a standout opportunity inviting new owners to begin a fresh chapter and relish in this canvas of architectural artistry. Crafted with intent, care, and profound respect for both its heritage and future legacies, it is both a refuge, and a celebration of life's best moments.
Simply put - Home.
