Evident in its striking, breeze brick facade, this two-level, five-bedroom home, located close to Northcote’s neighbourhood centre, is a statement in architectural design.
“Leonard St has no heritage overlay, which meant our design choices were quite open,” the vendors Ryan and Stephanie say.
“We came across the breezeblock facade from a previous Auhaus design in Cremorne, which is why we chose Auhaus so they could help us create our own version,” they say.
“We like the fact it’s different and stands out from the crowd.”
Ryan and Stephanie worked closely with Auhaus Architecture to knock down and rebuild at 31 Leonard St, bringing their plan for a five-bedroom, three-bedroom home to life.

A five-bedroom home at Northcote has hit the market.
The house was designed by Auhaus Architecture.
With spacious open-plan living over both levels, the home caters to entertainers.
“When we first decided to renovate, we wanted to go up a level at the front (as we were already up at the back), but we were quick to find out that we needed to knock the whole front down if we were to achieve our dream vision,” they explain.
“This in itself was quite major, not to mention this build was right in the middle of Covid with many restrictions and delays.
“However, due to the high level of detail of the design, it gave us the ability to stop and get the finer details right.”
Some of these finer details include a combination of polished concrete and timber floors that flow throughout, along with sleek stone enhancements, recessed finishes, and gorgeous curved accents.
“Texture was huge for us, and we had plenty of standout textures that we loved- whether that was the small square matt tiles used in the bathrooms, polished concrete floors, the alternate surface used from the bar through to the main bedroom,” the vendors say.
“Our cabinetry by Eastwood and Co is also so beautifully finished and a major standout for us, with many different finishes depending on each room.”
The striking home is a statement in architectural design.
The home is listed with a price guide of $3.4-$3.6 million.
The property is scheduled for auction at noon on February 7.
With spacious open-plan living over both levels of the home, as well as a north-facing deck with integrated barbecue, the home caters to entertainers.
“We love entertaining, so making a functional, yet aesthetically pleasing space was a big priority for us,” Ryan and Stephanie say.
“We love that our kitchen opens to our courtyard and turns it into one big space, allowing you to move freely throughout.
“The sunken lounge was a design masterstroke as no one wants to look at the back of a couch, and in turn, helped keep the open flow of the kitchen and living area.”
31 Leonard St, Northcote is listed by Justin Mellar of Jellis Craig Northcote with a price guide of $3.4-$3.6 million. The property is scheduled for auction at noon on February 7.
