Established c1900 and beautifully redefined in 2026, Rosella House is a rare offering that seamlessly blends historic charm with contemporary design. Once a humble grocery store owned by Mr Hilder, this remarkable residence has been thoughtfully transformed by AFD Studio, honouring its rich heritage while introducing a refined, modern extension.

Behind its charming bluestone shopfront and distinctive red brick quoins lies a home of undeniable character. Elegant archways, both original and newly introduced in the Mediterranean-inspired alfresco, create a cohesive dialogue between old and new, celebrating the home’s history while elevating its liveability.

Inside, the flexible floorplan offers four bedrooms or three with a formal lounge, catering to a variety of lifestyles. Natural light fills the home, with skylights enhancing both bathrooms and adding to the sense of openness and calm. Every detail has been carefully curated, from elegant cabinetry to the seamless integration of heritage elements with minimalist modern finishes.

At the heart of the home, the newly designed living area connects effortlessly to the outdoors, with full-height glazing opening onto a beautifully considered terrace, perfect for entertaining or relaxed family living. The kitchen has been crafted for both performance and longevity, featuring Smartstone Taj Mahal porcelain benchtops, Spanish handmade tile splashbacks, and fully integrated appliances including a double fridge and freezer, integrated dishwasher, Bosch stacked wall ovens, and a Smeg 90cm induction cooktop.

The main bathroom offers a luxurious retreat, complete with a dual vanity and a freestanding 1700mm bath positioned beneath a skylight, inviting natural light by day and tranquil sky views by night. A highly functional mudroom and laundry sit conveniently off the carport, incorporating full-height storage, integrated joinery, and thoughtful additions such as a charging station, LED lighting, and provisions for raised appliances.

The unique double carport extends beyond practicality, designed as a versatile space with a Panelift sectional door, lighting, and flexibility to be used for entertaining or additional living.

Outdoors, the home continues to impress with a carefully curated entertaining zone, complete with a built-in Weber Q 3600+, outdoor fans, and provision for a TV, making it a true year-round space. A fully renovated external toilet enhances convenience for guests, while a dedicated service yard with rear access adds further functionality. Landscaping has been thoughtfully designed to complement the home’s character, ensuring it feels naturally embedded within its surroundings.
