Luxury Renovation by Melbourne Interior Architect Boosts Value of Leopold Home

Luxury Renovation Adds Significant Value to Leopold Home

An impressive luxury renovation by interior architect Joshua Malcolm has transformed a Leopold home, adding more than $600,000 to its value. Malcolm, usually accustomed to working on multi-million dollar Melbourne mansions, put his expertise to work on his own 1987 brick residence, turning it into a stylish sanctuary.

Influenced by his love of contemporary Californian minimalism, the design at 31 Myuna St, Leopold, exudes a calming and sophisticated aesthetic, set among beautifully landscaped gardens. Originally intending to make the property his long-term base, Malcolm has now decided to list it for sale through RT Edgar, Bellarine agent Ashlyn Schweiger, with a price guide of $1.25m to $1.35m.

The top-to-bottom renovation, which was primarily undertaken by Malcolm himself, includes the construction of three separate outdoor entertainment zones in the spacious backyard. Customized paint colors, dark engineered oak floors, and Italian marble finishes adorn the interior, creating a luxurious yet practical space for everyday living.

The sunken lounge boasts a raked ceiling, a wood heater, and a double glazed display wine cellar, while the central kitchen services both the dining area and a clever breakfast nook off a second living area at the rear. The meticulously planned garden features a large deck, fire pit zone, lawn, vegetable beds, and a garden shed/workshop, providing a perfect retreat for outdoor activities.

Malcolm, originally from Byron Bay, was drawn to Geelong’s mid-century modern and postmodern homes, as well as the family-friendly atmosphere and community feel in Leopold. With the median price in Leopold at $680,000, Malcolm believes that everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy a beautifully renovated home in such a perfect location.

The listing of this stunning Leopold home will undoubtedly attract attention from buyers looking for a blend of luxury, style, and practicality in a tranquil setting.
