The existing Victorian Queen Anne style villa was located on the perfect site in Northand, with easy access, to endure an extensive family focused renovation.
Judi Keith-Brown’s vision for the renovation included family gathering rooms which open to a new spacious and sheltered courtyard, a new formal lounge and a second level addition for the master bedroom suite. Importantly there are independent spaces for both the teenagers and the adults to ‘hang out’.
Interesting features like the new black pressed metal ceiling and unique light fittings instantly catch your eye on entering the house. Then there’s the original hallway arch that has been resurrected, resized and relocated to the adult lounge. This renovation covers all bases – family, artwork and amazing views that take in the harbour from Hutt Valley to the Heads.
