What does the home of a renowned interior designer look like? The answer lies at 13 Jennifer Crescent, Thirroul, a 1890s farmhouse restored far beyond its former glory.
Maven Farmhouse has realised its potential in the hands of the interior designer behind Maven Homes, blending all the timeless character of the classic Australian farmhouse with a crisp, curated modern aesthetic.
“Everything has been well thought out, from the floorplan to the finishes,” McNeice X director Troy McNeice says.
“It’s a unique and interesting home, unlike anything else in this area.”
Perched on 700 sqm, it begins at the white picket fence framing cottage gardens, which beckon you to the distinctive wraparound bullnose verandah and through to the light-filled home beyond.
Inside, the visually stunning main residence is characterised by fresh white interiors enhanced by Scandi-inspired finishes, archways, French doors, high ceilings, soft blush accents, statement wooden floors and coloured glass features.
At the heart of the home is the open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen area, where meals are prepared surrounded by quality finishes and abundant natural light.
Complete with a fireplace, the lounge room is the perfect place to spend those cosy nights in, while a separate second living space offers flexibility for family living.
The main residence also has four generous bedrooms and two bathrooms, including an ensuite to the main, a spacious laundry and a study.
Outdoors the wow factor continues, with an elegant entertainer’s area to the rear, complete with a sparkling in-ground pool and leafy outlook.
Again, a sharp eye for design has created spaces primed for enjoyment — think ice-cold cocktails and cheeseboards shared by the pool.
“The indoor-outdoor floor is seamless,” Troy says. “At the same time, it’s a very intimate home, and feels very much like a private sanctuary.”
Nearby, you will also find one of the property’s greatest drawcards — a charming backyard studio with stylish presentation. This addition is ideal for guests, multi-generational living or as an extra income stream.
“Currently it’s a family home, but alongside families I could see empty nesters from Sydney loving life here, thanks to the very functional, easy-living, single-level layout,” Troy says. “Also hugely appealing is its top-to-toe restoration, making it a total turnkey, ready to enjoy.”
