Mid-Century Modernist Magic

Welcome to a lifestyle, not just a home. One for aficionados of the mid-century genre, this 4 bedroom plus study treasure, designed in 1964 by highly regarded architect of the time John F Tipping, is in mainly original and excellently preserved condition. Set in the original landscaped gardens of native plants and succulents with several magnificent eucalypts standing sentinel at its entry, this iconic residence is one of the few remaining quintessential mid-century homes of Balwyn North. The entry is to a spacious hallway that becomes a wide gallery looking out over the large sun-filled "Palm Springs" style courtyard. Timber panelling is a highlight throughout the home and clerestory windows invite natural light. Inside the front door, an intimate study provides a very private workspace. The main bedroom presents a WIR and fully tiled ensuite with original fittings. 3 further bedrooms have BIRs and are serviced by a practical arrangement of separate bathroom, shower room and WC in pristine, authentic condition. Living/dining room and family room will offer options to suit a growing family.

Rino and the Fletchers Worked to Save an Iconic Mid Century Modern Home in Balwyn Nth

Thanks to Rino and the team at Fletchers, our house gained the attention it deserved. We had entered into selling with the worry of an historic house by John F Tipping being lost, but Rino and the marketing allowed a family to find and purchase the house, and Denise and I can now relax, knowing it will remain loved by the next owners. Thank you from Denise, myself and Family. Bruce.

A Mid Century Modern masterpiece is saved from Developers by Daiman Kane at Fletchers.

We searched "Find An Agent" for our area, wanting the best, and Daiman topped the list on REA, and he proved that position. We had excellent service with Fletchers when we purchased the house and had confidence with the team there. Daiman understood our position of not just owners, but curators/custodians of a John F Tipping designed MCM house. Daiman and the team presented the house as it deserved and found a family who love the house and understand that they too now take the baton for our heritage. From the initial conversation, to the final transaction, Daiman was provided friendly service as well professional. He and his team know our area and gave us a smooth progress to our expected outcome, removing a lot stress and worry. Thank you from Denise, myself and our family.
