Like a sculpted work of art etched into its creekside setting, this 1980s architectural tri-level home should be celebrated as the unique treasure it is on the leafy cusp of Apex Park and Joan's Pantry.
This is what you get when an architect designs something for himself; an ambitious, creative and truly original home that bends to its natural surroundings like a tree-house.
Drawing on his years of experience - including a long stint at revered architecture firm Woods Bagot - its creator deserves credit for conceiving a home that is both bold and supremely practical in the same breath.
Sharp angles, exposed brick, soaring voids, expansive glazing and prolific timber play a game of bright and moody, spacious and cosy across a dynamic layout that places one bedroom on each floor.
You'll meet at the middle, where the main living zones feed the original vintage hardwood kitchen and a deck that seemingly hovers amongst the treetops.
The lower level reveals a self-contained surprise; a bedroom, study, kitchenette, bathroom and external access, all working in perfect tandem for guests and independence-craving teens alike.
Your bedroom - featuring a walk-in robe, private access to a two-way bathroom and garden view from bed - is not without its sense of luxury and refuge.
Raked timber ceilings carve out a bevy of interconnected living zones on that middle level to cater for every conceivable mood and occasion.
If the mood calls for a quiet moment of contemplation, simply take a walk around the meandering gardens and creek that run through a 1808sqm parcel with circular driveway/dual entry points and plenty of off-street parking.
It might all feel two worlds away, but it's far from it; just five minutes to Blackwood's conveniences and not much further from Scotch College, Mitcham Square and the CBD beyond. A treasure indeed.
