RB Studio Reinvent The City Villa

It's not often that we have the pleasure of bringing an architects' own home to market. Tom Rowe and Saskia Baetens of RB Studio have completely reinvented this divine villa in one of Mt Eden's most recognisable character streets Burnley Terrace.

Fully renovated in 2016 with award-winning Lindesay Construction, the craftsman and architect have created a masterful 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home on one level. The ease and flow of this home will impress, as will the cleverly delineated spaces. Two living areas are both separate yet still intermingle. The oversized kitchen complete with titanium granite top and matt white cabinetry is expansive and timeless. Connecting beautifully to a vast open plan living area with heated tundra grey marble tiled floors, this home can entertain with the best of them. A sophisticated gas fireplace adjoins the low glass look-through to the Japanese style garden. Like a life-scale terrarium, it's the playful details like this which make this home so special.

Oversized skylights and cleverly placed windows bring in light and private introspective outlooks. You will love the outdoor shower in the summertime, while the built-in heater over the front veranda provides a lovely spot to enjoy a glass of wine as the autumn evenings grow a little cooler. The low maintenance private grounds provide the ease of lifestyle living we all crave.

Cleverly hidden storage throughout the home will surprise, including two built-in utility sheds within the fabric of the home. Also boasting the laundry room to beat all laundry rooms, you have space to move and it's fully soundproofed as to not disturb the zen of the adjoining rooms. Plus there's good offstreet parking behind automatic gates.

Located in the thick of the action on the border of Sandringham and Mt Eden, close to Eden Park, Kingsland Train Station and the Morningside Precinct, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a sophisticated and timeless architectural home, exactly where you want to be.
