Overview

Architectural Character, Family Comfort

Custom-built in 1984 by Robert Marshall, apprentice to pioneering Australian architect Alistair Knox, this remarkable mud brick residence embodies craftsmanship, history, and individuality. Knox one of the most influential figures in post-war Australian design inspired a generation of builders who championed natural materials, authenticity, and homes in harmony with the landscape. This property remains a rare example of that legacy. Set on a generous 751sqm (approx.) block, the wide-fronted residence combines privacy with convenience. A paved driveway and leafy garden surrounds lead to unique interiors where handcrafted Eltham mud bricks and reclaimed Jarrah posts from the historic Avoca Bridge provide both structure and a link to Victoria's engineering heritage. Lofty cathedral-style timber ceilings with exposed beams add to the home's character. Central to the home, a north-facing dining space with clerestory windows is complemented by Mexican terracotta tiles, a freestanding gas fireplace, and full-height glazing opening to a paved alfresco terrace. The spacious living zone also frames garden views, with a second fireplace creating an inviting retreat. A peaceful front study offers flexibility as a workspace, additional bedroom, or private sanctuary. The kitchen features excellent storage, ample bench space, and a concealed walk-in pantry, while an adjacent laundry also offers great storage options. The captivating accommodation wing includes three well-zoned bedrooms with built-in robes, including a generous main suite with picturesque rear garden aspects. A skylit bathroom, separate toilet, and dual side access enhance functionality, while scope exists to extend upwards for a parents' retreat (STCA). A vast rear garden lined with boundary trees ensures seclusion. Opposite Lloyd Street Primary and within easy reach of Glen Eira College, Caulfield Grammar (Malvern campus), Korowa Girls', and excellent childcare, the welcoming family-friendly location is superb. Moments from Darling Gardens, Darling Village, Central Park, and transport, this singular family residence held by one family since built awaits new custodians to value its rare provenance and architectural spirit. Land size: 751sqm Approx.
