From the iconic design group who created the Melbourne Olympic Pool, Parliament Station, Dinner Plain Alpine Village and the River House, comes this 60s mid century masterpiece by McIntyre & McIntyre.
Dream like attention to light infuses every room of the sprawling home with a sense of calm beauty, as the artisan home blends seamlessly into its secluded 1,374sqms (approx.) patch, which rises to meet the mountains.
One of the remaining mid century builds in the original proud orchard district, charms with its stunning full length picture windows, which draw effortlessly across to the central patio and secret gardens of the whimsical bushland sanctuary.
Framed by high brush box fences, the ascending block capitalises on its high point of View Road to take in spectacular mountain views of the Dandenong Ranges, as the light moves from east to west across the breadth of the split level home.
Designed to bring the outdoors in with its connection to the natural environment, the unspoiled landscape inspires dreamers, creatives and those looking to live a simple, sustainable lifestyle.
The synergy with the earth is why McIntyre & McIntyre's architecture is so revered, complemented by a considered extension to add further bedrooms in the home's back wing.
With 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 2 separate living areas, the configuration presents flexibility for families at every life stage, including those wanting a separate bungalow/unit to work from home or as a quiet hobby studio.
Designating the master bedroom in its own section with a spa ensuite presents a private retreat for parents, flowing out to the paved al fresco for breakfast with the birds, or evening drinks as the sun sets across the native garden.
It's that cinematic quality that McIntyre & McIntyre have weaved into their homes, where the light hits just right and each room feels comfortable in its own skin.
Even the galley timber kitchen manages to inspire with mountain outlooks, and the modern touch of a 900mm induction cooker and whisper quiet Asko dishwasher.
Complete with solar panels, in room air conditioners, an open fireplace, custom solid brickwork, a tranquil water garden entrance, and plenty of secure off-street parking, this is a rare opportunity to claim a part of Australian architectural history in the family friendly surrounds of Vermont, set in the prize dual school zone for Vermont Primary and Vermont Secondary (STSA), close to shopping at Brentford Square, Eastland, Westfield Knox and Forest Hill Chase, and the city to coast gateway of Eastlink.
