An contrastingly contemporary home hides inside a historical church where modern luxuries are combined with old-world features.
The heritage building, dating back to 1865, is in the popular inner-city Melbourne suburb of Brunswick and was transformed into a chic and stylish pad in 2016.
Original details like the arched doorways, exposed brick walls, vaulted ceilings and leadlight windows add period charm to the otherwise modern-day fit out with sleek monochromatic design.
Entry to the Blyth Street three-bedroom home is through a Gothic-style arched front door in the leafy courtyard leading to the open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area.
Light pours into the room through a double-storey high sky light while a fireplace warms the airy space.

Folding doors peel back to allow the living room to open out to the courtyard and the simplistic kitchen features its own hidden butler’s pantry.
Upstairs on the middle level, there are two bedrooms featuring unique original windows as well as a spacious bathroom with a luxe freestanding bathtub.
