1/11 Mount Street, Prahran

It’s pretty hard to put your finger on the pulse of the times – that beat just keeps thrumming and moving. But if you’re looking for its representation in a renovation, pull the car over at 1/11 Mount Street.

This is a stunning piece of work where colour is queen and cutting-edge means cool but never cold.

Biggin & Scott’s Michael Tynan says you walk inside and say to yourself, “Wait a minute. Where am I? This really doesn’t look like a backstreet in Prahran.”

Sure, Prahran’s got plenty of good gear – gracious, groovy, gorgeous – but this feels next-level.

There are curves everywhere, in door frames and walls and benches. Even the concrete ceilings host arched light fittings. It’s vibrant and dynamic but warm, too.

Curves and colour abound in this Prahran home.

A smart, flexible floor plan across two levels means you have dual living areas.

There’s space for an office or a rumpus or anything else you please downstairs, and there’s even a little kitchenette below in addition to the stunning main kitchen up top.

Configure away … just don’t touch the combo of mustard door, green carpet and rich timber. Sensational.

Shout out to design studio Ora – this feels like something right up to the minute.

The expressions-of-interest campaign carries a guide of $1.7 million to $1.87 million.
