This renovated mid-century Broadmead house has a 1970s California beach house vibe.
Picking up stakes and moving can be daunting for most homeowners but not for Cleo and Ryan Thompson, who enjoy moves since they bring with them the challenge of renovating a new space.
They also wanted to get their children settled in a new province while they were young enough to make friends easily. Broadmead is known for its many mid-century modern homes, from the last 1960s to the 1980s, its larger than average lot sizes, and mature, heavily treed landscaping. The development, started in 1966 on 290 hectares, is considered one of the first in Victoria to take a sustainable approach to neighbourhood design.
Nixon says the mid-century modern homes “stand the test of time” and are hard to replicate with today’s new builds. They made an inspection-free offer, knowing renovations would be needed to bring it up to today’s standards. Nixon agreed renovation choices to further open up these mid-century homes makes sense for today’s lifestyle.
The home also has its original fireplaces. Besides the living room fireplace there’s a second fireplace in a second sitting room downstairs in the 2,900 sq. ft. home.
