This home sits in the heart of the Queen Street village, and is unmatched for its timeless elegance and superb modern style.

Designed by Studiointernationale and May+Swan Architects, the home's builder, Alvaro Bros, won HIA's 2015 award for large-scale additions and alterations.

The Victorian front of the house has been restored, and a magnificent contemporary pavilion extends the back of the house. The front wing consists of a bedroom or sitting room, bathroom, kitchen and large living and dining rooms.

The rear pavilion contains the main bedroom, with dressing room and ensuite, two more king-size bedrooms, powder room, laundry, and open-plan kitchen that opens onto a garden entertainment area.

Luxury features include ducted, zoned air-conditioning, marble bathrooms, abundant storage, custom-made doors and windows, state-of-the-art electronic and security systems, and an upstairs studio.

Dame John Sutherland grew up in this wonderful home, which is heritage listed.
