The perfect marriage of bespoke mid-1970s architectural excellence and eye-catching 21st century pizzazz, this landmark Caulfield South home is a genuine masterpiece. Distinctive in so many ways and boasting a thoughtfully-conceived 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom design with multiple living zones, this double-storey oasis will have families swooning while also offering rear alfresco entertaining that will capture your heart.
This master-built residence was ahead of its time when it was constructed in 1976, and amazingly is still ahead of its time thanks to a considered restoration that has intention and a deep respect for the property's original vision. Every detail of this memorable haven has purpose, from the morning light that streams through newly-installed double glazed windows, to the evening moon that carefully rises into framed picture windows.
The entry will grab your attention straight away with its openness and striking pendant lighting above, which quickly makes way for the soaring cedar-lined ceilings and generous sunken lounge room and separate formal dining. The kitchen is secluded away and enjoys fantastic privacy, along with sumptuous stone benchtops, an abundance of soft-close joinery, black matte double sink, premium appliances, and a casual meals zone tailor-made for family dinners.
A bedroom and powder room adds versatility to the ground level, as does the incredibly unique wellness retreat which sits behind a concealed bookshelf (who doesn't love a hidden room!). The wellness space could be anything from a home gym to a creative workshop or yoga room, with this room effortlessly flowing into another private family area that will be a great place for teenagers to escape. An additional downstairs living retreat off the kitchen only adds to the flexible nature of the layout.
A feature floating staircase with glass balustrading transports you to the top floor, where you can experience 3 more bedrooms including the main suite which boasts walk-through mirrored robes, additional walk-in robe storage, and an ensuite with Hollywood vanity lighting. The spa bathroom and study/living area is easily accessed by the other 2 bedrooms, with much of this space enhanced by automated clerestory windows.
Mediterranean-style ambience will be felt all summer long as you enjoy the iconic kidney-shaped swimming pool at the rear, with this timeless silhouette framed by pristine white decking and further complemented by a spa and enclosed lounging area ideal for sipping cocktails on those balmy Melbourne evening. Additional home features include a laundry, ducted heating, reverse cycle cooling, secure off-street parking, and much more. Over both levels, the property also provides an array of gallery wall space for art lovers.
