Timeless Elegance Meets Modern Living At 151 John Street

Honouring its heritage while embracing contemporary design, 151 John Street is an exceptionally considered family sanctuary.

Reimagined by local builder Adam Lourie of ACL, alongside Studio Billy Architects and interior designer Celine Vernezy, this four-bedroom villa has been redefined with a contemporary brick extension while paying careful homage to its original 1900s character.

Elevated and orientated to optimise north-western sun, generous living spaces are framed by sea views beyond the lawn and the pool’s horizon. The home’s layout offers multiple living zones anchored by a meticulously crafted kitchen and scullery, providing effortless connection to the outdoors for entertaining.

Below the villa’s street frontage, an internal garage with laundry and media room have been established to cater to the brief of a busy family. Additional driveway space allows for a boat, or at least two off-street vehicles.

Since its comprehensive renovation, the original home above now encompasses four double bedrooms—including a main bedroom with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe— as well as a fourth bedroom offering flexibility as a second lounge, opening onto the pool and al fresco dining area.

With new double-glazed timber joinery throughout, central heating, and an integrated sound system, 151 John Street is a thoughtfully conceived property that requires you to make zero compromises.
