ELM GROVE - MCKINNON
8 Elm Grove, McKinnon VIC
A HOME OF RELAXED BEAUTY
Elm Grove is a stylish collection of only six townhomes in the coveted suburb
of McKinnon. Here, bold and contemporary architecture in a muted timber
palette creates a sense of warmth and natural tranquility. Contrasting
textures and hues add a layer of depth to the façades, complemented by lush greenery that surrounds each entrance.
Designed by Perkins Architects, with interiors from the highly respected
Tecture, these two and three bedroom homes have been designed to create
a sense of cohesive beauty from the inside out. An expansive foorplan across
three levels, as well as secure ground level parking and entrances, ensure
these are residences of exceptional liveability. With abundant space, light,
and elegant contrasts, Elm Grove is an address like no other.
A HOME OF REFINED GRACE
The interiors of Elm Grove are defned by a timeless beauty. Clean lines and
a simple, warm material palette ensure that each home will endure in style.
Golden timber and fresh white tones create bright interior spaces that are
punctuated with black accents. Large windows in bedrooms and living spaces invite natural light to spill deep within the home, and glass doors to balconies
create constant connections with the outdoors. Bedrooms with private en
suites ofer spacious sanctuaries and ftted wardrobes provide clever and
generous storage options.
Each townhome features two balconies: one that opens out from the dining
room, and one from the second foor master bedroom, so that residents can
enjoy relaxing in the warm evening air. An entire foor is dedicated to the open plan living and kitchen areas, providing an expansive space in which to gather
with family and friends. Two residences also feature courtyards that are
designed to be landscaped extensions of the home.
A PLACE OF ELEGANT DETAILS
Within living and kitchen spaces, the light timber grain of the foorboards
contrasts with grey stone benchtops and splashbacks – providing rich textural interest. Black bench cabinetry and feature rangehoods add bold elements,
creating a sleek aesthetic, which is further enhanced by Smeg gas cooktops,
ovens and integrated dishwashers. Feature mounted LED light fttings create
a warm ambience and a sense of luxury to any occasion.
This same colour and textural tale continues throughout the bathrooms.
Here, black shaving cabinets and joinery juxtapose with stone vanity tops
and white and grey ceramic tiles to form a striking yet refned retreat. Master
ensuites also feature black mirror walls, and bedrooms are ftted with a
carpet for a fnal touch of luxury.
