“Wharton House” presents a rare mid-century offering in North Warrandyte, where architecture, landscape and light come together in a way that feels deeply connected to its surroundings. Designed by Alistair Knox and set among established trees and natural greenery, the home has a warm, grounded materiality, with recycled timber, brick and slate creating a calm and enduring sense of character.
The living spaces are beautifully oriented to the landscape, with expansive windows, clerestory glazing and French doors drawing in natural light and framing leafy views. Afternoon sun fills the front lounge, where a large fireplace anchors the room, while the adjoining dining area and elevated patio look out across treetops for a striking sense of privacy. The sensitively renovated kitchen is both practical and distinctive, with reused timber benchtops, a peninsula layout, breakfast bar, soft-close drawers, a Neff oven, Miele induction cooktop and integrated Miele dishwasher.
Three bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, all with built-in robes and bamboo floorboards. The main bedroom includes an ensuite and a peaceful garden outlook, while the other bedrooms enjoy the same connection to the greenery beyond. A second living area has a built-in desk adding flexibility for home office use or study.
Original slate floors, timber-lined walls, ceiling fans, screens, split-system air conditioning, a separate laundry with direct outside access, two water tanks, a garden shed and extensive under-house storage enhance day-to-day practicality. The under-house area offers excellent workshop potential, complementing a home that balances design integrity with genuine function.
This is a setting that feels wonderfully immersed in nature, with the Yarra River and Pound Bend Reserve just beyond the back gate, along with scenic walking trails and a popular swimming spot moments away. Families will also appreciate nearby Warrandyte Primary School and easy access to local kindergarten options, all within a neighbourhood known for its strong sense of community.
