When an art director for a leading décor magazine, and an eco-water systems entrepreneur make a home for themselves and their family in a beautiful old Observatory Victorian, the result has a better-than-average chance of being both lovely to look at and to live in.
The free-standing Hawthorn Villa is a balance of intact Victorian features, original vitrified ceramic tile in the front hall, pressed ornamental ceilings and a heritage façade complete with cast iron brookie lace, contrasted with floor to ceiling industrial doors and windows in the kitchen and bathrooms, allowing the back garden to flood the home with light and air.
Inside the main house are two bedrooms, an en suite bathroom off of the master bedroom and a family bathroom. The en-suite opens through to an outdoor shower. The living space in the home has been opened up to flow from front to back, with a central fireplace keeping all the rooms toasty in the winter.
