Sometimes it seems an impossible challenge to match the natural aged beauty of a historic structure with the addition of a sleek modern extension. Rarely will you ever see a contrast that enhances the aesthetics of both old and new like as this property does. The architects of Artas have clearly excelled themselves in this incredible renovation-and-addition project. New materials and contemporary forms seem to compliment rather than compete with the heritage house structures to which it is attached.

This spacious and immaculately presented 1890s home combines traditional elegance with chic contemporary style to create timeless family living at its best. With impressive proportions of 375m2 of pure living space, this residence offers a private retreat from urban New Farm living, but still only a short walk to all the suburb’s amenities.

The frontage of this heritage property houses two bedroom’s or self contained home office studio complemented by striking high ceilings and ornate plaster finishes. The choice is yours. This space and outlay makes this ideal for separate family living or large working space achieving better mediation between work and domestic life.

The lower level continues to showcase impressive scope with a huge well appointed entertainer’s kitchen, complete with European appliances and single piece granite bench top. The kitchen is surrounded by treated and exposed brickwork that continues to exemplify the amicable relationship between past and present; a common theme throughout the home. The dining flows on from the kitchen supported by the exposed brickwork which meets the entertaining hub of the house. Which is a private internal entertaining deck perfect for year round high level entertaining or family lounging.

With all main living over the balance of the lower level, this home boasts a superb master suite, specifically designed as a private retreat for the owners, enticed by the finest of luxuries, including: ensuite complete with twin vanities and his/her shower and an enormous walk in wardrobe and separate study nook.

This home embraces you with its many features including: fully ducted air-conditioning, ample amount of louvers taking advantage of the breezes, security intercom system, and security alarm, separate laundry with internal hanging space, two street accesses, ample storage spaces and garaging for two cars.

With the perfect equation of formal, informal, indoor and outdoor entertaining areas resulting in the perfect synthesis of historical and contemporary forms, 55 Merthyr Road is a pedigree of property that rarely presents itself. This is luxurious family living at is best. With an owner that is well aware of current market conditions and still wants this property sold do yourself the favour and inspect.
