Owners Notes
What we love about this home:
From the moment we first stepped into 81 Smith Street as a young couple, we knew it was where we wanted to build our life together. Over the years, this home has become far more than just a place to live it has been the backdrop to raising our children, celebrating birthdays, hosting family gatherings, and creating the everyday moments that define who we are.
Every renovation we undertook was made with intention: to create a warmer, more functional, and more beautiful environment for our growing family. The high set windows and soaring ceilings have filled our mornings with soft natural light, while the timber floors have carried the sound of little feet over the years. The gas fireplace was at the heart of countless winter movie nights, and the built-in study nook has supported everything from homework sessions to late night planning.
The kitchen quickly became our family hub. Whether sharing breakfast around the stone island, spreading out school projects, or preparing meals together, it has been the centre of our daily life. Opening the doors to the courtyard on warm days created a seamless indoor–outdoor flow, giving the children extra room to play while we enjoyed entertaining friends and family. It’s a space that has always felt generous, comfortable, and full of life.
Each bedroom has held a chapter of our family’s story from nurseries to children’s rooms to guest spaces for visiting relatives. The home’s original period features give it charm and character, while thoughtful modern upgrades ensure effortless everyday living. One of the property’s rare advantages is its ROW vehicle access an uncommon and valuable benefit on Smith Street.
