Some homes are more than just places to live – they’re part of the family story, and that is exactly the case with this stunning Mediterranean style manor perched on the banks of Main River. Recently reimagined by Tomkins Constructions, this sprawling residence has undergone a transformation that honours the home’s past while transforming Mediterranean it for modern family living.
For the owners, the renovation wasn’t just about improving the space. Having grown up there, it was about retaining childhood memories while creating a home that met their growing family’s needs. The original home was built with grand proportions and to take in the breathtaking riverfront views and now the house has been given a fresh lease on life, brought back to its former glory with a complete restoration, maintain the classic aesthetic and adding contemporary functionality.
The updates extend far beyond the surface, with a redesign that fixes awkward layout issues and makes the most of its riverside location. The ground floor, for example, now features a relocated kitchen that doubles as a command centre for busy parents, perfectly positioned to watch the kids play outside in the expansive yard, while preparing dinner. The rear extension houses a pool room with its own kitchenette, and the master suite now includes a private balcony that offers the perfect setting for an evening glass of wine looking out over the breathtaking river views, subsequently creating a covered poolside alfresco.
But it’s not just about practicality – with six spacious bedrooms and five beautifully finished bathrooms, the home’s interior exudes an understated luxury. The high-quality materials chosen for the renovation ensure that the home will be an enduring family residence for decades to come. New, Curvado Terracotta roof tiles imported from Spain now add an authentic Mediterranean element. Along with the roof tiles, other standout touches include American Oak floors with European stained, travertine floors, granite herringbone pathways, and custom stonework that again pay homage to the home’s Mediterranean heritage.
With expansive lawns and a sparkling below ground pool, the home provides the perfect space for family play and entertaining. The alfresco area, framed by landscaped gardens and granite cobblestone paths, is tailor-made for long lunches and late night celebrations, whether hosting a formal dinner or a laid back barbeque, it’s a space that makes entertaining effortless.
Thanks to Tomkins Construction, this Mediterranean style residence has been beautifully refreshed, steeped in character yet perfectly suited to modern family living, standing proud on the riverbank and ready for the next chapter in its family’s story.
