Katie and Ian should be congratulated on the hard work they have put into this home. I had the pleasure of visiting them shortly after they purchased it for a “Dr Retro House Call” and frankly the amount of work needed was a bit overwhelming as it was a bit of a mess and had not been loved for years. The results are stunning and it is so good to see so much of the original house, such as those beautiful front doors, retained.
A mid-century architectural gem in Mount Martha restored to 1970s glory, complete with terrazzo tiles and original swimming pool.
It’s hard to pick what’s old and what’s new in this Melbourne home sympathetically renovated for a new era.
