Designed by acclaimed architect John Playoust, this late-modernist residence is a thoughtful expression of the design principles that defined his work throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Positioned at the centre of its 1140m2 block and cocooned by established Australian native gardens, the home enjoys a quiet, almost bushland atmosphere, with carefully framed outlooks to the landscape from every principal room.
The split-level design creates a natural progression between spaces, showcasing Playoust's signature emphasis on large proportions, abundant glazing and a seamless relationship with the outdoors. A formal entry introduces the distinctive sunken lounge and adjoining dining room, where beams provide character and a northerly aspect welcome winter sunshine deep into the home.
Further into the layout, two oversized skylights in the renovated kitchen and dining space usher in blue-sky views and natural light, enhancing the sense of openness while drawing the eye upward. Tasmanian oak flooring adds warmth, while contemporary updates to the kitchen and bathrooms have been thoughtfully executed.
Two distinct outdoor living spaces extend the home's connection to its surroundings. A welcoming front terrace flows from the family room into the low-slung gardens, while the rear deck steps down to private landscaped surrounds, creating inviting settings for entertaining or quiet retreat.
With four bedrooms, two generous living areas, a double brick garage with workshop, and the enduring appeal of a home by a celebrated modernist architect, this is a residence that gracefully balances its design pedigree with contemporary comfort in one of Fraser's most established neighbourhoods.
