Hepburn Street Residence, Hawthorn

This early 1900s Queen-Anne Style brick home in a quiet heritage pocket of Hawthorn has been reimagined as a contemporary family residence that balances period charm with modern sophistication. The original structure—complete with leadlight windows, intricate cornices, and decorative fretwork—has been carefully preserved and forms the foundation for a seamless architectural journey from old to new.

A wide verandah leads into a light-filled entry and formal living space, where high ceilings and refined detailing create a sense of calm. Towards the rear, the home opens into a striking modern extension—anchored by a marble island bench and state-of-the-art kitchen.

The spatial planning is both functional and luxurious: a master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite sits alongside a trio of generously sized bedrooms and a beautifully appointed family bathroom. The result is a thoughtful fusion of heritage character and contemporary living, perfectly suited to the needs of a growing family.
