34 Raleigh Street, PRAHRAN

OBVIOUS

A House for Charlie by Tom Robertson Architects, preserves major elements of its Federation heritage in an elegant and progressive renovation that has seen it featured in design publications the world around. At the back of the house, masses of chic family living space are copiously sun-lit through expanses of glass, which connect the out to the in. Dually a mecca for the gathering of friends, its swimming-pool, wood-deck and substantial yard are graced by an electrifying urban sky-line. A kitchen as rich in functionality as it is in beauty - with an imposing marble-top island as its centrepiece - and bathroom's of equal merit. Four big bedrooms of warmth and charm; Master with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite. A potential fifth bedroom, presently laid out as a home-office, is just as spacious - with a view to the internal courtyard it's piece de resistance. Powder room adjacent, it makes for the perfect guest sleeper. Maintenance of the garden and pool are included.
