Mawson townhouse with potential undergoes complete transformation

When Alex and Laura Stone bought their 1970s Mawson townhouse, they knew that it had the potential to be something special.

“When you first walked in it had tall, 3.1-metre ceilings and the north-facing wall was entirely windows,” Alex says.

“Grand features were already built into the house and, aside from the kitchen and laundry, the layout was very practical.”

Alex says the kitchen was small, dated and tucked away at the back of the home with the laundry.

Two years later, the four-bedroom home has been completely refreshed and beautifully finished. Those tall ceilings and expanse of glass now shine alongside timber floors and an exposed brick feature wall.

The new kitchen was moved and integrated into the open-plan living space, while the bathroom and en suite have also been renovated.

During the renovations, Alex, Laura and baby Finnegan lived in the detached self-contained studio, which is now connected to the main home via a new deck.

The family’s next project will be a subdivided acreage just across the ACT border.
