THE reputation of multi-award winning architects Iredale Pedersen Hook is so strong, devotees are flocking to home opens for this townhouse in Seventh Avenue, Inglewood.

The abode boasts magnificent, rolling timber ceilings—golden sweeps that unfold high overhead like a cresting wave.

“Architect junkies are coming through just because of its design credentials,” the beaming from ear to ear real estate agent says.

The townhouses had originally been sold as shells, cavernous blank canvases for new owners to make their own.

The vendors of this unique three-level, three-bedroom abode did that in spades.

Perfect

Many other dwellings have living spaces on the second level, but this unit cleverly has the hub of any home, the kitchen, on the ground floor, easy for unloading groceries, and perfect when it comes to dining alfresco in the courtyard garden.

The floor is tiled in broad bands of charcoal and beige, a motif that extends to the courtyard — and up the soaring wall — expanding the sense of space.

The generous kitchen’s cherry-red glass splashback is echoed in the courtyard, on an adjoining timber fence.

Beautifully crafted jarrah frames the many cupboards, and there’s a huge walk-in pantry.

One of the two bathrooms is on this level, with a laundry tucked cleverly away in a floor-to-ceiling cupboard.

Take care walking up the steel and timber stairs to the second level living room because the ceiling is mesmerising as it sweeps high above you.

You’ll find the bedrooms on this level, including the main with its skillion ceiling and spacious walk-in robe.

The mezzanine was designed to be a second sitting area or bedroom and a sleek, curved timber privacy screen drapes elegantly over the steel balustrade in perfect harmony with the sweeping ceiling.

A bank of floor-to-ceiling cupboards hides a cute workstation.

The vendors of this architectural gem had planned on living here for only a year, but loved everything about their home and location so much they ended up staying much longer.

The hugely popular Inglewood night markets are mere metres away, as are a swag of shops and cafes.
