Style and Substance

Nestled on the slopes of one of Miramar's leafiest streets sits a 180m2 1960's home in which sympathetic renovation has created charm, form and function in fine balance.
Drive up to the entry level where a garage/workshop is at one side of the front door and a spacious studio or bedroom with smart bathroom at the other. A staircase then leads to the light-filled main floor revealing polished matai floors and classical features of the era as well as doors that open to a sunny, sheltered courtyard. Large picture windows in the living and dining room look out to the north-east and this space is heated by a wood-burner and gas heater. Alongside the dining area is the handsome galley kitchen designed to reflect the essence of the original while offering modern convenience such as solar heated hot water, european fittings and a hideaway laundry.
Completing the main floor are three double bedrooms, a contemporary family bathroom with bath and shower plus guest toilet and handbasin. At the rear of home is a well-planted garden on two 'platforms' with vegetables and fruit trees and room to play on the 550m2 site or adventure beyond into the adjoining reserve.
But this home is more than the sum of its parts. It has the ingredients for modern family living with a neutral colour palette, sunlit well-designed spaces inside and out while retaining the substance and patina of the solid times in which it was built. All of this in a popular suburb with Miramar North School a minute away and transport and the village of Miramar close by.
