A couple of young builders have created this impressive architectural home from a tired double-fronted Edwardian, attracting the attention of local families looking to upgrade.

“They’ve rebuilt it all the way from the front door, except the facade,” the agent says. “It’s a level of finish not seen in Yarraville.” It features oak floors, Calacatta marble, raked ceiling, northern natural light and indoor/outdoor living, and is located between Yarraville and Seddon village shops.

A couple of major renos of this 1950s villa in genteel Canterbury have given it individual contemporary character, the agent says.

There are two bedrooms and a home cinema below and two top-floor living rooms with a balcony. “It’s appealing to professionals who want the smaller land and low maintenance,” the agent says.
