Designed and built by renowned architect Rod Roach and owned by two more architects over its lifetime, this extended, award-winning poolside residence lives for hypnotic hills views on the cusp of Belair National Park.
And in its own quiet way, on a very private rise, it's a rock star.
Radical for 1971, the home went on to win the Derrick Kendrick Award for Sustainable Architecture in 2013, proof that intelligent design sticks. Its current owners even hold the original hand-drawn blueprint.
It makes a sweeping statement. Solid brick walls dug into the hillside, floor-to-ceiling glass drawn to north-westerly hills vistas. Inside, the three-bedroom home's crisp white canvas gives its artistic owners licence to go neon-wild with personality.
And with the entire 1,730sqm landscape given a stunning Palm Springs revision, it's safe to declare this the coolest pool house in Belair.
Design cohesion comes with lifestyle solutions. Spotted gum rear steps morph into decking, outdoor seating and storage, while the fully tiled, heated pool lets its natural backdrop upstage every cocktail party.
And there's a flip-up cocktail bar at the ready for that.
You'll savour the sun's finest hours, underfloor heating beneath parquetry and polished concrete floors, and a simply clever design with quirks that work including room-by-room connection.
Open plan living and dining converge around an open wood fire. The home's HQ with a view is a gallery-style kitchen featuring a Miele induction cooktop, steam and electric ovens, side-by-side fridges, sleek walls of storage and ice-white benchtops.
What began as a garden galley has evolved into an efficient two-station office, opposite a striking LED-lit laundry. Throughout, wall after wall conceals practical storage.
Nothing starts the day like the primary bedroom, with its eye-level serenity, custom walk-in dressing robe and adjacent ensuite bathroom; and with kids or teens in situ, the family room becomes theirs preceding the two final bedrooms.
Both double-sized rooms are fitted with individual plumbed vanities making the bathroom queue a thing of the past. The second toilet is a circular work of art; tucked beside the office, it has the diameter to unfold a foolscap newspaper, with a tube window for ventilation.
For every visual thrill by day, pool and directional garden lighting by night complement the stars, with a pocket of the city joining every show you'll host.
Every square metre of the block has been fastidiously considered, from the layered vegetable plot and glazed garden shed to the double carport, woodshed and guest parking verge.
So many ideas. Such a spirited way to live
