Functionality. Form. Style.
One of finest homes in the Inner North, 51 Duffy Street has been designed and constructed without compromise. This stunning dwelling succeeds in balancing form and function, space and intimacy, history and modernity.
Imbued with the owners' love of design, creative touches stretch from an entryway lit by a striking hand-blown 'balloon' pendant light and adorned with flowing wall art, through to the random black-and-white floor tiling of an expansive ensuite bathroom. Funky Scandinavian fabric blinds, polished concrete floors and European designed fittings and fixtures bring a creative flair to this large four-bedroom home.
Form, however, doesn't trump function. An entertainer's dream, the doubled-sided kitchen features a floor-to-ceiling open pantry, Miele combination steam oven, large Gaggenau conventional oven, professional Qasair range hood, induction stovetop and wok burner. Seemingly endless stainless-steel benches and abundant soft-close drawers accommodate the needs of family cooks and aspiring master chefs alike. And there's easy access to an herb garden abundant in mint, oregano, thyme, sage, rosemary, sorrel and lemon verbena.
The raked ceilings of two spacious living areas harvest natural light and create a sense of space conducive to quiet relaxation or entertaining. Seven-foot high sliding glass doors allow celebrations to flow out to a stylish tiled deck afforded privacy by dense bamboo screening. Equally, the living spaces can be closed off for more intimate dinners.
