The southern parklands sit at the end of the street like an invitation you can open at anytime, yet this reimagined character cottage feels like it’s etched deep into suburbia.

That’s the magic of Parkside; and this 4-bedroom home plays the part to extended perfection beyond its white picket fence, inch-perfect gardens and gloriously symmetrical facade.

Rather than tack on something jarring, custom builder Sarico ensured the vast open-rear addition paid timeless homage to the cottage’s C1890s origins.

And so the dramatic dark Baltic pine floors and impossibly high ceilings that greet you don’t end until this light-drenched home spills effortlessly through French doors to the crowd-pleasing Eclipse Louvres vergola at its sunny rear.

The idea is that it’s hard to know where original ends and new begins. Mission accomplished in a home that pairs its classical looks with the modern comforts of a bill-busting solar system, zoned ducted a/c and slick, fully-tiled bathrooms. Ensuite included.

The undoubted shining star: a custom shaker-style kitchen with thick stone benchtops, integrated Miele appliances, butler’s pantry and an expansive island/breakfast bar that glows under a pair of Velux skylights.

Whether it’s the ornate fireplaces, light-dappling plantation shutters or the strip lighting that puts your favourite pair of Christian Louboutins on display in the master’s walk-in robe; the beauty lives in the details here.

And here couldn’t be better placed; a leafy, quiet street lined in like-minded character homes, all close enough to the city it feels like you can just reach out and grab an impromptu visit to the Central Market. Magic.
