What homes here are like
Parktown North sits just south of Parkview and Parkwood, with a similar run of arts-and-crafts and early-twentieth-century character homes along quiet, tree-lined streets. A common renovation pattern here keeps the street-facing facade and original front windows intact while opening up the rear into a modern kitchen and living extension — which means two very different window jobs on the same property.
What suits these homes
Out front, timber venetians keep faith with the original proportions and period detailing. At the back, the new glass usually calls for rollers or, where the architect has hidden the system in a ceiling slot, a concealed or recessed blind that leaves nothing on show. Whole-house motorisation is a natural fit once you're running two different window treatments off one remote.
