Bold, beautiful and unmistakably Boyd, the Light Frame House is a triumph of design, light and connection to nature. Created by renowned Australian architect Robin Boyd for Home Beautiful writer Keith Finlay, it is a home with history, heart and character.
Privately placed among the trees on just under an acre, the home reveals itself beyond a gated front garden with winding pathways and a pond. Then comes that roofline. A striking inverted W, instantly recognisable and every bit as captivating as the home beneath it. Inside, Boyd’s vision comes to life. Timber-lined ceilings add warmth, vast expanses of double glazing invite the landscape in and treed views fill almost every room. Open and relaxed, the fully equipped kitchen, living and dining domain is a wonderful place to cook, gather and unwind, with a sliding door drawing you out to a sunlit courtyard when it’s time to entertain.
Three bedrooms, including two with walk-in wardrobes and one with built-in wardrobes, are joined by a separate study or fourth bedroom, a central bathroom with a shower and bathtub, a powder room and a generous laundry.
The grounds offer a fully gated swimming pool, a vegetable patch with a wicking bed, an array of fruit trees, two sheds and a studio with power that has the potential to become a creative space, workshop or additional accommodation (STCA).
The property also features a gas log heater, split system air conditioner, double carport, a secondary access point for parking, a 5.6-kW solar system, a fibre-to-the-premises connection for speedy internet, a 2,000-litre water tank and an alarm system.
Wrapped in serenity, yet within walking distance of bus stops, the Yarra River and Warrandyte Village, this is a significant Boyd home in a setting where you still feel closely connected to the community and everything that makes it such a wonderful place to live.
