When the homeowners purchased the property in 2020, they saw potential — but also significant limitations. Built in the 1960s and never renovated, it was one of the first houses on the street. The lounge room felt small and confined, the layout was outdated, and the home no longer suited modern living.Their vision was clear from the beginning: open the space, improve functionality, and create a home that felt cohesive and contemporary.Removing walls to open up the living areas was a priority, transforming a closed-in floorplan into a light-filled, connected space designed for everyday living and entertaining.
