$4.6m Moonee Ponds period home’s stunning transformation

Extensively renovated over the past two years by RDC Collective, along with assistance from architect Pepper and Well and builder Ludina Homes, this five-bedroom house at 29 Argyle St, Moonee Ponds offers versatile living, perfect for families.

“The inspiration was to keep the character of the area, which is full of period homes built in the early 1900s,” says the vendor, developer Frank Druda.

The 667sq m home seamlessly blends the updated, original period home and its modern extension via a white, steel door.

“We kept the style of a period home to keep its original characteristics along with the original picket fence, chimney and fireplace, which have all been revitalised,” says Mr Druda.

The features of the house and property were designed to accommodate the diverse needs of families.
