Overview

RETRO SOUL, REMARKABLE SPACE, ENDLESS POTENTIAL

The inspired vision of architect Royston Courtenay, and built in the 1970s, this ageless home of unique and brilliant design captures exceptional views across the Yarra Valley to Kinglake. A flight of steps leads to grand front doors, originally from the old National Bank of Lilydale, marking the entrance to this extraordinary residence constructed from handmade Hawthorn bricks. Designed around an internal courtyard and complemented by a surrounding veranda, both finished with basalt paving, the home is filled with natural light and enjoys excellent indoor-outdoor connection and cross ventilation. Exceptionally versatile, the layout includes five bedrooms plus a study, two original retro bathrooms and multiple living zones. Double doors open to a grand entrance and formal dining room, aligned with a second historic bank door to the courtyard, reinforcing the home's architectural character. A striking double-sided brick fireplace forms a central focal point, with additional exposed brickwork throughout echoing the exterior's craftsmanship. The main lounge, crowned by a timber-lined ceiling with exposed beams, extends to a covered alfresco area and private garden. In all its 1970s glory, the kitchen (with walk in pantry) and meals area, is bathed in light from the courtyard and enjoys breathtaking views in the other direction. In true 70s style, a spiral staircase leads to a sensational upper-level living zone, where panoramic views stretch to the horizon, accompanied by two bedrooms, each with a built in robe and a built in desk. Warmth and ambience are assured with pot belly stoves and an open fireplace, enhancing the home's rustic charm and incredible potential. Set on a private 1,700m² (approx.) block, the property features a bitumen driveway with abundant off-street parking, double carport, multiple sheds, an aviary and established gardens. This rare setting feels like a peaceful hills retreat, yet is just minutes from the vibrant heart of Lilydale with train station, eateries shopping, schools and parkland.
