Wallpaper \u2018groupie\u2019 unveils grand Newtown makeover<\/a><\/p>\nShe says while she was happy with the original 18-year-old house, designed by Projekt Evolve as a knockdown rebuild project at 46 Victoria St, Rippleside, the time had come to remove a few internal walls and update the kitchen, laundry and joinery.<\/p>\n
Naturally, she hunted down some of her favourite finishes, including solid blackbutt flooring and marble benchtops.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am a big believer in natural materials like stone and marble and solid timber flooring \u2013 anything that brings that natural element in,\u201d the vendor says. \u201cEverything you touch and feel in here is quite high-end because I think it\u2019s generational so it will last.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nowhere is this more apparent than in the open-plan kitchen and dining area at the heart of the entry level where home cooks have a suite of Miele cooking appliances, a Liebherr fridge, Zip tap and discrete Bora downdraught cooktop at their disposal.<\/p>\n

Stonework and floating timber treads turn the stairwell into a key feature.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The kitchen has marble benchtops and solid blackbutt flooring.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hydronic heating and evaporative cooling are installed throughout.<\/p>\n
Other little luxuries are less obvious \u2013 the multi-room Sonos audio system across five zones, CCTV network and a Wi-Fi enabled front door intercom system.<\/p>\n
A suite of flexible living areas includes an elegant front lounge, home theatre with a projector system and a peaceful library the vendor nominates as one of her favourite rooms.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have my Art Deco chairs that I have reupholstered three times and there\u2019s a vibe in there with the books that surround you, it\u2019s a very quiet space,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
A covered deck off the dining area is the go-to for outdoor entertaining and adjoins a courtyard featuring Castlemaine slate crazy paving.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Every little detail is considered, right down to the post for the covered deck.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A discrete projector is part of the home theatre provisions in this living room.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The study has space for multiple work stations.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe absolutely love our Castlemaine slate,\u201d the vendor says. \u201cI think it\u2019s the focal point of our home because we\u2019ve taken it from the front facade outside and then we have taken it into the house and also into the back courtyard so it\u2019s a bit of a transition.\u201d<\/p>\n
A triple garage with a store accessed via Edward St at the rear is another prized feature, though those keen to minimise car use can take advantage of the nearby North Geelong train station and bayside walking trails, just 150m from the front door.<\/p>\n
The vendor says the location has been fantastic as she travels to her South Melbourne showroom for work most days, something which as prompted the sale.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I could pick it up and move it Melbourne I would that,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
