NORTHCOTE HOUSE

Tucked privately behind an impenetrable contemporary façade, Kellett Street is an undeniable feat of modern minimal design. Layering of rich textures within the soaring spaces has delivered an impeccably luxurious four bedroom home that manages to emanate warmth from within while maximising its Northern orientation.

 Sarah loves the fluid natural entry into the open plan, large kitchen and living area, offering a great natural flow from arriving home into the garage, through the mud room and into the kitchen. Knowing that the kitchen is destined to be the hub of her family’s home, Sarah cleverly chose to install the hot plates in the island bar. This let them see the kids playing in the back yard, and join the conversation whilst entertaining. The North-facing backyard allows sunlight to pour into the house. a pool was a must for this house to elicit the energy of Sydney’s Freshwater Beach, and the lifestyle they left behind to be closer to family in Melbourne.

A massive advocate for going your own way, Sarah says to choose finishes and colours you love, rather than always following a trend. the grey Indian slate tiled flooring and subtle lime wash on the walls are remarkably different from the façade, yet so fitting.

“Sarah says one of the most satisfying stages of the build for her was watching the installation of the Blackwood joinery and stone. For the very sexy, moody kitchen, the striking Blackwood veneer was Sarah’s first selection, layering with the concrete island bar, textural stone splashback and aged copper pendant.”

“I love the yin energy of the Master bedroom with the dark chocolate walls and beautiful morning sunlight from the adjoining courtyard also connected to the master ensuite. We have a large window facing a screened courtyard off the master ensuite. It’s really special to shower with morning sun shining on your body.”
