Upstairs, an expansive open-plan living space unfolds beneath a dramatic pitched roof. Glass and exposed steel frame the room, drawing in abundant natural light and creating a bold architectural statement. A full wall of north-facing windows captures leafy views across mature trees and the Avon River, offering a tranquil backdrop to relaxed living and dining. These windows slide right back, seamlessly connecting indoors with out. The sleek, contemporary kitchen is designed for both beauty and performance, featuring an island counter ideal for entertaining and a high-spec workspace complete with two Miele ovens. An internal void enclosed in translucent walls creates a striking visual connection to the studio below, adding intrigue and depth to the home's design. The accommodation is equally impressive. The large master bedroom, with ensuite, opens directly to a lush rooftop garden, while a second generous double bedroom sits on this level. Downstairs, a light-filled office provides separation for work or could function as an additional bedroom. A family bathroom, well-appointed laundry, extra WC, extensive garaging/workshop space, and a dedicated art studio deliver exceptional flexibility and functionality-with scope to create further garaging or expand your home business footprint. Positioned on a landscaped, pedestrian-friendly, north-facing street, directly opposite the Avon River, this location is simply unbeatable. You're just moments from cafes, restaurants, and shops, with a short stroll to Riverside Market, The Terrace, the Botanic Gardens, the hospital-and only a five-minute walk to the new stadium.
