Lilyfield, Starling
A historic, humble exterior harbours a dramatic, open and sleek contemporary design in back. This single storey fronted inner city house gets a new lease of life, opened up to the sky and outdoors with floods of light, air and cleverly maximised space. The reworked, flexible floor plan and additional attic conversion accommodates four bedrooms, two of which are masters with ensuites, an additional bathroom and separate powder room, a laundry, playroom, and a home office/family room or fifth bedroom. The large kitchen lets the outdoors in with wall-to-wall bi-fold doors flowing seamlessly to a landscaped garden that takes full advantage of the northerly sun. Raised roof lines provide soaring ceilings for each of the bedrooms, maximising the sense of space and enabling natural light to flood into the interiors. Each of the bedroom modules are separated by utility spaces. Integrated cabinetry throughout the home makes the most of space for storage. The entire house is oriented to capture the northerly light.
