An uplifting family home balancing charm and liveability

Elià House, a freestanding 1890's Victorian Italianate home, nestled in one of Stanmore's wide, tree-lined streets, has been creatively re-imagined for beautiful contemporary living.

Behind its elegant façade, the interiors showcase space, scale and proportion. Every element has been thoughtfully considered resulting in a home where each individual space calls on you to dwell within it and allows you to seamlessly circulate to the next.

Filled with natural sunlight, the rear living spaces connect effortlessly to the garden and an outdoor fireplace creates a space delightfully congruent to entertaining throughout the seasons.

The kitchen is beautifully crafted with custom joinery, furniture-like island bench and bull-nosed Carrara marble bench-tops, which have been carefully, detailed to respectfully reference the past narrative of this home.

Well-proportioned bedrooms and a flexible arrangement to the upper level ensure all members of the family their own space and the master suite leads to a private balcony, a perfect space to rejuvenate the soul.

The lower level ensures flexibility for changing family needs and adapts instantly as a fourth bedroom, additional living space, teenage retreat or separate visitor's quarters.

The design is a collaboration between acclaimed architects, Eva-Marie Prineas of Studio Prineas and Peter Titmuss. It has a nuanced and intertwined approach, which eschews obvious separations between old and new, establishing an engaging dialogue throughout. Elià House is not a home you should just read about, it is a home you need to experience.
