FREEMANS BAY VILLA
Freemans Bay Villa is a classic inner city residence that has been lovingly restored to its former glory by Macfie Architecture.
Purchased by our clients after serving as a rental property for many years, the villa's character had been compromised by alterations that strayed from its original charm.
Our team took on the challenge of re-establishing the home's heritage identity, starting with the striking street frontage, which now features a garage, a front balcony, and a verandah that offers sunset views over Freemans Bay and the city skyline.
The four-bedroom home underwent a complete renovation, including the addition of en-suites, a new master bathroom, walk-in wardrobes, and built-in features.
The highlight of the renovation is the newly added open-plan kitchen, scullery, fireplace, living, and dining area that seamlessly flows into the outdoor entertaining space.
Upstairs, structural issues were addressed to create a luxurious master suite with a double shower, walk-in wardrobe, a dedicated office space, and a balcony overlooking the landscaped gardens.
The property also includes a converted storage loft, transformed into an antique steel gated wine cellar, that can hold up to 500 bottles.
This project not only future-proofs the property but also ensures that the villa stands out as a timeless home, offering the best of both worlds in terms of style and comfort.
