Simone Haag’s Magical Mid-Century Home Hits The Market

Simone Haag and her husband Rhys used to frequently stalk Modernist households on the web when they lived in a ‘cute’ one-bed room apartment in Melbourne’s inner-city suburbs.

So when they at last discovered a mid-century dwelling to connect with their have in Ringwood (for just $425,000 back again in 2011!) they realized they had to help provide it back again to daily life. The 13 Poynton Avenue home was weathered right after staying neglected by its numerous prior renters, so it was in ‘desperate’ have to have of a savvy renovation!

‘None of our household could quite see the enchantment, and to be perfectly sincere – I really don’t believe even Rhys and I could have foreseen how magical this household could have turn into,’ Simone claims.

They to begin with refreshed ‘just about every single surface’ in the home except the first brick fire. This included incorporating in larch wooden floors, refreshing carpets, the kitchen and bathroom, prior to furnishing the household with Simone’s resourceful contact.

Decades afterwards, Simone and Rhys toyed with the thought and advertising and moving on when their relatives outgrew the house with the addition of their three daughters. ‘But our link to this room was so strong that we resolved to extend rather than provide,’ Simone explains.

The couple enlisted the assistance of Kennedy Nolan for the next aware renovation in hopes of maximising house whilst respecting the property’s retro attributes. In addition to making a new private grasp bedroom, they set up a deck off the eating space for an indoor-outside experience and expanded the dwelling space so there was sufficient home for a tailor made rattan unit – wherever the hid, distant-managed Tv pops up from!

But right after almost 11 several years, the Haags are completely ready for a new venture and have made a decision to checklist their beloved residence. One of the options they’ll pass up the most is the master bedroom, full with a towering 100-yr-old gum tree just outside the house the ensuite window, and the living room’s sweeping views to the Dandenongs.

‘[The plan is] to locate yet another mid-century present day gem and commence all about all over again,’ Simone states of the family’s future transfer, so observe this area!

‘We hope that the next custodian of this residence can come to feel the enjoy and electrical power we set into it and overlay it with their relatives and their own exclusive finds – except of program we make your mind up to offer all of our home furnishings and begin around – which is a unique risk.’
