Restoring A Historic Melbourne Mansion, With Julie + Vincent Fodera
Episode 71
Thursday, 16 November, 2023

In our final episode for 2023, we speak with lawyers-turned-renovators Julie and Vincent Fodera who are restoring one of Melbourne's oldest mansions, a historic homestead in Caulfield known as Heatherbrae. The private property dates back to 1854 and is bit of a local landmark, which the couple have been the proud custodians of since buying it last year. Hear how they're lovingly updating the property, why their renovation journey has gained them 16k Instagram followers, and the importance of preserving magical heritage builds like this one. Take a look inside the remarkable abode here, and follow them at @heatherbrae1854 to see their progress! Follow us at @thedesignfiles and subscribe to our weekly newsletter so you don’t miss a thing.
