About this space

Casa Blanca in Darebin, VIC is a masterclass in character and contrast—where Victorian bones meet contemporary design. Built in the 1890s and thoughtfully renovated, this shoot-ready home blends vintage elegance with modern edge, offering a layered, light-filled canvas for creatives.

The layout is expansive yet easy to navigate, with a generous open-plan kitchen, dining, and living zone that flows seamlessly outdoors. Large windows invite natural light into every corner, illuminating the home’s eclectic textures—whitewashed brick, moody timbers, and soft neutral tones. A cosy sitting nook at the heart of the space features a minimalist designer chandelier, striking just the right balance between comfort and sophistication.

Out back, the scene shifts to a lush, visually rich garden framed by crazy paving, an ornamental grapevine arbor, and a red brick wall cloaked in ivy. The main bedroom opens onto a private courtyard with tropical palms and a whimsical oversized Victorian birdcage—adding both romance and edge to your shoot options.

There are four bedrooms in total, plus two large bathrooms, a separate laundry and pantry, and step-free access throughout the single-level layout. Two fireplaces—one a traditional whitewashed brick, the other a sculptural Cheminées Philippe—bring added texture and styling potential to indoor shoots.

Every zone offers a different visual rhythm. From soft, editorial corners to bold, statement-making backdrops, Casa Blanca is as versatile as it is beautiful. The side driveway and rear laneway access make gear drops and crew flow easy—no matter the scale of your project.

Ideal for fashion, editorial, lifestyle, and branding shoots, this Darebin gem delivers high-end character with creative flexibility. Whether you’re shooting moody morning light in the front rooms or golden hour in the garden, every frame here has story built in.
