This Victorian terrace packs enormous punch with its original 4.2-metre ceilings that have roses and tiered cornices, and its architecturally designed second-storey extension added in 2010. Behind a high, rendered brick wall, the traditional iron lacework verandah and brown brickwork with cream-patterned edging gives no hint of the clever work inside that captures light and gives the illusion of size. The original height downstairs has been used to create floor-to-ceiling cupboards throughout, while mirror panels of the same height create a feeling of space in the hall and en suite. The main bedroom – with a cast-iron fireplace and glass-panel door to the front courtyard – has access to a heated outdoor spa. Glass-panelled double doors reach high above the Italian limestone floors and benchtops in the open-plan living room as well as the kitchen with its stainless-steel appliances. Upstairs, the large bedroom has two sets of double doors to a terrace with views over all the amenities that come with the postcode. \ SUE HEWITT
Magnificent landscaped gardens are a prelude to this remarkable Californian bungalow. Although immaculate, the period facade offers few hints of the spectacular interior renovation. Off the wide hallway are two traditionally styled rooms. One is a bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite, while the other is a sitting room. Glass doors from here reveal the renovation. The main bedroom is like a hotel suite, with french doors revealing a deck and garden, while the en suite has a walk-in double shower and sliding doors to the deck. The open-plan family hub has polished floorboards and seamlessly flows to the outdoors. The main bathroom serves two contemporary bedrooms. The kitchen has black cabinetry, an island bench, stainless-steel workbench and splashback. Gaggenau appliances and a butler’s kitchen complete the area. The meals/lounge area opens to a deep verandah. The terraced pool allows views of the kids swimming, while entry to the garage is off Lomond Street. \ MICHELLE OSTROW ZUKERMAN
