You're in your prime; get yourself a house to match.

Less a style evolution and more a revolution, this 1950s beauty has undergone quite the transformation. Loved and cherished since its construction, it was already a head-turner before the current owners seized the chance to take the sophistication and charm here to stratospheric heights. And it's first-class all the way. In fact, just a glance at the front yard will set the scene; beyond the automated gate (which cleverly evokes picket fence vibes), you'll discover lush (artificial) lawns and (real) gardens, plus the prettiest façade you could ever wish for. The gorgeous art deco-style leadlight doors usher you through to the entryway, where a matching set opens into the living room. If you're not already swooning, you will be when you see the fireplace, which, now converted to gas, is an incredible feature. Head on through to the kitchen, where the handcrafted reproduction mid-century cabinetry, with solid walnut and fluted glass accents, stone benchtops and clever storage and lighting combine to make this an absolute haven. The original sleepout is the next living area you'll encounter, and yet again, It's unparalleled in terms of beauty and character. Although the semi-enclosed alfresco area just beyond it gives it a good run for its money. Add comfy seating, a handful of interesting people, and a round or two of Hugo Spritzes, and you're set.

Meanwhile, the bedrooms and bathroom await you whenever you need a moment to unwind. Impeccable makeovers have made all these spaces supremely inviting retreats that exude luxe. Soak your stresses away in the bathtub before snuggling up in bed with a fave book for some good old-fashioned relaxation. This home truly has set the standard sky-high.
