Hodges is excited to auction 7 Wallace Grove, a contemporary townhouse featured in Domain over the weekend. Set in the leafy streets of Brighton, the property enjoys the modernity of its sleek façade and sky-high windows, as well as the homeliness of warm wooden panelling throughout and an open-plan kitchen.

Designed with a minimalist theme, French oak floors and Corian benches lend a level of luxe, while a six-star energy rating ensures the house has all the bells and whistles needed to grant it “modern home” status. Hodges predicts that the strong architecture alone has added $200,000 to the property’s price point.

Though built in the 1980s, the home is newly renovated and keeps with its original townhouse design with built-in wardrobes and a shared bathroom for its two ground-floor bedrooms. The luxe of the property continues into the upper floor, with a newly converted landing space and a light-filled main bedroom, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite.

Set on only 400 square metres, the family-home is ideal for downsizers in the local market and its modern stylings is complemented by a manicured garden and integrated Miele appliances.
