Luxury Renovation Blends Historic and Modern
This luxury renovation project is a stunning example of how a historic home can be transformed – perfectly blending historic charm with modern elegance. In both the planning and execution, the Precision Homes team worked to preserve the home’s history while adding an impressive range of upgrades and improvements and modern touches to reflect a minimalist French Provincial style.
One of the first steps in elevating this lavish property was preserving the original façade to maintain its street appeal. However, the renovation went far beyond the exterior, encompassing a complete transformation of all rooms in the house. The grand kitchen and both bathrooms underwent a significant renovation, where natural marble became the focal point. The bathrooms now boast double seats in the showers, tiled ledges, and architectural tapware, adding a touch of luxury to these spaces.
A new master suite was added, featuring an expansive bedroom and ensuite. The homeowners can now indulge in a luxurious retreat, complete with a newly created walk-in-robe, repurposed from a redundant bedroom. Additionally, the renovation included the creation of an alfresco area and outdoor sitting space surrounding the existing pool and tennis court. This outdoor oasis provides the perfect setting for entertaining and relaxation.
The kitchen, a true masterpiece, showcases marble stone throughout the island and benchtops. The addition of grand windows and bifold doors allows an abundance of natural light to flood the kitchen and dining area. The fully renovated kitchen features Shaker joinery, a farmyard sink, and a perfect blend of modern design with historic charm.
To further enhance the living spaces, the Precision Homes team redesigned and extended the living areas, creating more room for the homeowners to enjoy and allowing natural light to flow freely. The old outdoor shed was repurposed into a bathroom for pool accessibility, showcasing the team’s commitment to maximizing every inch of space.
Throughout the home, meticulous attention to detail is evident. The integration of new skirtings and cornices seamlessly blends the old and new sections, creating continuity. The builder’s dedication to maintaining the home’s heritage is exemplified by the tie-in of windows with continued arches. Fireplaces, both internal and external, were installed, adding warmth and character to the home.
The restoration and repainting of existing timber entry doors, sidelights, and highlights ensure a harmonious connection between the historic original and the refreshed finish. The home also features several notable additions, including multiple bedrooms, indoor living areas, a Butler’s Pantry, and a Powder room.
This luxury renovation project showcases the incredible transformation of a historic home into a modern masterpiece. Precision Homes successfully blended historic charm with contemporary elegance, preserving the home’s history while incorporating a range of upgrades and improvements. With its minimalist French Provincial style, this renovated property stands as a testament to the remarkable craftsmanship and attention to detail displayed by the Precision Homes team.
