Isabelle and Fernando were looking for a home that met their family routine needs and was close to their daughter's school, in the Vila Madalena neighborhood. They found a house built in the 1940s, largely preserved with its original configuration, located on a 300m² lot, featuring a two-story main house and a two-story annex.

Typology
Residential › House
Hawthorn East is home to many beautiful examples of Victorian era cottages and terraces. The typology proliferates the suburb and manifests a delightful and nostalgic neighbourhood character. However beautiful they are from the street, many of these houses are no longer suited to the lifestyles and living situations of modern Australians.
