Rosalie House
Located in the vibrant suburb of Rosalie, this family home is on the market for the first time in over 20 years. Meticulously renovated in 2016 by renowned architect Matt Kennedy of Arcke, the "Rosalie Plinth House" emanates a resort-like vibe, just 10 minutes from the city.

The heritage of the original and charming cottage continues to be honoured while the extension has infused the house with modern design elements to create a home that seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living.

The magic lies in the creation of a captivating garden level, raised two meters above the ground at the rear of the block. By elevating the cottage and adding a two-level extension, Arcke achieved a perfect fusion of contemporary design and timeless elegance. Picture yourself relaxing in the inviting living areas that effortlessly flow onto an elevated garden plinth, with an adjacent above-ground pool and deck. It's an ideal space for entertaining or finding tranquillity.

Privacy was key, and Arcke addressed it with finesse. Horizontal hardwood screening, well-placed windows, and clever courtyards provide controlled views and ample natural light while maintaining a cozy atmosphere. The materials pay homage to the cottage's origins, beautifully blending traditional timber, and tin with a contemporary twist. The result is a harmonious, relaxed character that perfectly suits the local climate.

The attention to detail is remarkable. High ceilings, generous openings, and clever built-in seating and storage create a sense of spaciousness that exceeds the physical dimensions. The galley kitchen acts as a seamless bridge between the old and new, unifying the entire house. Thoughtful cabinetry maximizes functionality, and a half staircase connects the deck and lawn, ensuring a constant connection to nature.

This Rosalie residence is more than a home, it's a lifestyle. Whether you're enjoying breakfast by the window seat that doubles as a children's stage, or merging the living room and deck into one expansive space, every aspect has been designed for practicality and enjoyment.

Located just a short stroll to the vibrant Rosalie Village retail precinct, Milton State School, Frew Park, bus stops and Milton Train Station.

Don't miss the opportunity to own this architectural gem that effortlessly combines style, sophistication, and an exceptional living experience. For further information or to arrange a private inspection, please contact Andrew Degn.
