This 1910 Queen Anne return verandah villa has been sympathetically renovated to champion its north-facing orientation.

Five years ago, Anna was on the hunt for a new home, enlisting her friends to accompany her to open houses every weekend.
After her offer on another home around the corner didn’t pan out, she came across 30 Brown Street and she knew it was the one.

“I fell in love with the house because it had just been newly renovated and done so beautifully and the aesthetic was completely me,” she says.

Oak floors and cabinetry paired with stone features and a light and bright palette throughout create a seamless transition between old and new and afford the renovated home an almost Scandinavian aesthetic.

Now that her daughters have finished school and flown the nest, Anna is looking to downsize to something still full of character with a north-facing aspect.

ADELAIDE'S AWARD-WINNING BUILDER
REDEFINING CHARACTER HOMES

The best renovations are not defined by the amount of space they add, but by how they improve the way you live.

At BTF Constructions, we specialise in high-quality, large-scale renovations and extensions to Adelaide's character homes, thoughtfully blending original character with the functionality of modern living.

Discover what's possible for your home.

A century-old bungalow in Adelaide’s east has been transformed into a luxury family entertainer with an agent’s price guide upwards of $2.65 million.

In 2017, Sam and Lora McMillan were searching for a home to raise their young family, with their sights set on the eastern suburb of Beulah Park.
But it was a dated yet potential-filled character home in the neighbouring suburb of Payneham South that caught their interest.

The couple, who both work in finance, could see the property “needed a lot of love” but had excellent bones and a wide street frontage.

They commissioned Desyn Homes to design and build a complete renovation and extension, keeping the heritage facade while bringing the property into the modern era.

While the couple searches for their next heritage home to renovate, they hope a new owner will relish what they have created.
