Freemans Bay Villa

Step back in time and witness the transformation of Collingwood Villa, a classic residence that has been lovingly restored to its former glory by Macfie Architecture. Purchased by our clients after being a rental property for many years, the villa's character had been compromised over the years with alterations that deviated from its original charm. Our team took on the challenge of re-establishing the home's heritage identity, starting with the striking street frontage that now boasts a garage, front balcony, and verandah offering sunset views over Freemans Bay and the city skyline. Internally, the four-bedroom home underwent a complete renovation, including the addition of en-suites, a new master bathroom, walk-in wardrobes, and inbuilt features. The highlight of the renovation is the newly added open plan kitchen, living, and dining room that seamlessly flows into the outdoor entertaining area. Upstairs, structural issues were addressed to create a luxurious master suite with a double shower, walk-in wardrobe, office space, and a balcony overlooking the serene back garden. The property also features a converted storage loft into a temperature-controlled wine cellar that can hold up to 300 bottles. With meticulous attention to detail and a focus on blending heritage elements with modern comforts, Macfie Architecture has created a true masterpiece at Collingwood Villa. This project not only future-proofs the property but also ensures that the villa stands out as a timeless gem, offering the best of both worlds in terms of style and functionality. Experience the essence of a 5-star hotel within the walls of this renovated classic, a true testament to the expertise and vision of Macfie Architecture.
