Overview

A modernist classic with contemporary edge

Cresting the hill to capture sweeping, cinematic views stretching all the way to the bay, this double-storey mid-century stunner delivers an inspired collision of 1950s cool & modern-day comfort. Set on an expansive 753m2* allotment & wrapped in lush, sculpted gardens, the home unfolds as a private urban sanctuary with serious architectural swagger. Formally recognised by the City of Glen Eira Post-war & Hidden Gems Heritage Review, this significant post-WW2 residence was designed in 1951 & built by renowned Austrian architect Dr Ernest Fooks. Celebrated for his precision, functionality & light-driven design philosophy, Fooks’ signature is everywhere — from the solid-brick bones & crazy-paved patio to the expansive glazing & free-flowing layout that floods the home with natural light. A statement entry sets the tone, with soaring ceilings & original timber floors grounding the home in authentic mid-century soul. Flanking the hallway, a striking formal dining room makes an instant impression with designer wallpaper & a broad front window, while the spacious living room channels retro glamour with a rich green marble fireplace & a newly installed double-glazed window wall, opening via French doors to a reimagined north-facing courtyard. At the centre of it all, a sleek contemporary kitchen & meals zone connects seamlessly to the outdoors. Anchored by a long island bench with breakfast bar, it features a 900mm Smeg oven, integrated dishwasher & fridge, walk-in power pantry & a fully equipped butler’s pantry complete with second sink, double-drawer dishwasher & bar fridge. An updated laundry & powder room sit neatly alongside, enhancing everyday functionality. Bifold doors open to a third outdoor living zone - a laid-back entertainer’s dream with a built-in BBQ, raised patio & steps down to a broad lawn framed by bamboo & magnolia trees for natural privacy. Completing the ground floor, the deluxe primary suite delivers a serene retreat (optional 5th bedroom) with built-in robes, a private sitting area, terrace access & a stunning terrazzo-marble ensuite. Upstairs, space & flexibility continue. A large bedroom - ideal as a second master - enjoys corner bay-view windows, a private terrace, its own updated bathroom & adjacent dressing room. Two additional robed bedrooms share a contemporary bathroom & generous living retreat, while a private home office & expansive landing provide options for work, study or relaxed living. Finished with split-system heating & cooling, hydronic heating, a lock-up garage with internal access, built-in Tesla charger & additional off-street parking, this intelligently zoned, design-driven home is a rare opportunity to own an iconic piece of Melbourne’s architectural story - boldly refreshed for effortless, turnkey living. Perfectly positioned on the cusp of Armadale, Malvern & St Kilda East, enjoy immediate access to renowned shopping villages, elite schools & city-bound trams along Dandenong Road just metres away. *Approximate Title Dimensions.
