OAKDALE

Tucked into the quiet folds of Hillsborough, Oakdale Road began as a forgotten 1940s standalone. Its bones honest but timeworn. Over eight weeks, the house was reimagined with a sense of ease and quiet sophistication, its story rewritten through natural light, texture, and flow. Walls were opened to draw the kitchen toward the garden, creating an effortless dialogue between indoors and out. A new deck now spills from the living space, catching afternoon sun and soft breezes. Inside, a complete rewire and contemporary kitchen re-anchored the home in modern comfort, while layers of fresh paint, both inside and out, restored its understated charm.
