Architecture and landscape exist in rare harmony throughout this remarkable residence. Designed by renowned architect Robert Kitching in 1986 and held by only two families since, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is a modernist masterpiece set on approximately 580sqm, surrounded by exquisite established gardens.
Showcasing the finest elements of late-20th-century design, this genuine single-level home flows around atrium courtyards and paved garden areas, capturing northern light and leafy vistas at every turn. Principal living is oriented due north, while an airy casual zone opens to an entertainer's courtyard and the rear main bedroom enjoys morning sun.
Richly veined marble introduces the home, leading beneath a timber-lined ceiling to a spectacular lounge with soaring Tasmanian Oak cathedral ceilings, an impressive brick open fireplace and broad walls of glass connecting directly with the north-facing garden. An integrated timber bar introduces the adjoining living room, where exposed beams and wide sliders extend to the entertaining terrace.
The superbly appointed kitchen and dining area centres around a substantial island, complemented by stone surfaces, custom cabinetry and premium Miele, Liebherr and Ilve appliances, with vivid red accents adding a distinctive touch. A separate preparation zone and illuminated glazed cabinetry enhance the exceptional finish.
Three bedrooms are peacefully positioned at the rear, led by the main bedroom with extensive built-in robes and ensuite. A second bedroom opens to the terrace, while the third enjoys a leafy outlook. A skylit bathroom with walk-in shower completes the accommodation.
An original "Green House", the home embraces natural light through multiple skylights and clerestory windows, with solar hot water complementing contemporary comforts including ducted heating and cooling, abundant storage, video intercom and an oversized internally accessed double garage with storage.
Positioned in Sandringham's tightly held Poet's Corner precinct, the home is moments from the bay, Sandringham Village cafes, restaurants, shops and station, with Firbank Grammar, Royal Avenue playground and tennis courts nearby and zoning for Sandringham East Primary and Sandringham College.
A rare combination of architectural distinction, established gardens and effortless single-level living.
