Eltham Residence

Tucked among the gum trees, the Eltham Residence is relaxed elegance done with restraint. A pale weatherboard form, white-trimmed windows and a generous wraparound deck root the home in its leafy setting, while bi-fold doors fold the living spaces open to the canopy beyond. Inside, a soft palette of dove grey, crisp white and warm oak herringbone carries a calm, coastal-country sensibility, anchored by a Hamptons-style kitchen with handmade tile, shaker joinery and stone surfaces. Light-filled, grounded and quietly considered, it’s a family home shaped by its outlook.
