Portland Street

Originally a modest 1940s three-bedroom, one-bathroom home, Portland Street has been thoughtfully reimagined through extensive structural alterations for contemporary family living. The transformation adds new bedrooms, a living area, games room, bathroom, powder room, laundry, and an alfresco—delivering a home that balances modern functionality with enduring style.

Careful window and door placement invites natural light deep into the interiors, framing views to the pool and landscaped gardens to strengthen indoor–outdoor connection. A redesigned entry and carport create an inviting street presence, with limestone details and sympathetic rooflines that honour the original character.

Portland Street blends heritage charm with modern convenience to create a light-filled, highly liveable home for a growing family.
