Kooyong is one of Stonnington's smallest suburbs, a tight cluster of houses and villas rather than a centre of towers. Edwardian villas and interwar homes, many double-fronted in red brick or roughcast with timber verandahs, occupy the short streets between Glenferrie Road, the railway and Gardiner's Creek. The lawn-tennis grounds take a large holding beside the station. Walk-up flats appear occasionally. Broad estate housing and high-rise apartments belong to the larger neighbours, not this pocket. Kooyong is in the Stonnington area.
Verandah fretwork, turned posts and bracketed eaves need hand preparation because a broad sander would round the detail. Roughcast and face brick on the same facade cannot take one coating approach. Iron lace and small glazing bars slow masking. Several houses sit tight to Glenferrie Road, where traffic film dulls enamel on the street facade while the garden side fails from shade and watering instead. Start a Kooyong interior with interior painting, then book a visit for exterior painting. The next suburbs are Toorak, Malvern and Hawthorn.
Interior painting
Interior painters in Kooyong
Houses and villas, not apartments, set the living pattern beside Toorak, Malvern and Hawthorn. A typical home keeps a wide hall, separate sitting and dining rooms, and higher ceilings in that original sequence. Rear alterations, where they exist, usually add a kitchen and family room without removing the front rooms or the verandah rooms that face the street. In Kooyong we list the rooms and the surfaces before we book the work.
