Jellis Craig. Rich in character, layered in history and crafted with unmistakable vision, this remarkable multi-level residence by Hamish Knox is anything but ordinary.
Positioned within what was once Murray’s Farm — a sprawling 190-acre holding owned by early settler John Murray in the mid-1850s — the home forms part of a landscape steeped in local heritage, where past and present intertwine beautifully.
From the outset, the story unfolds. A grand original door salvaged from Jolimont Railway Station makes a striking first impression, setting the tone for interiors defined by reclaimed materials and inspired design. Repurposed floorboards from a local basketball court stretch across the open-plan living domain, while soaring ceilings and magnificent exposed beams sourced from historic piers create warmth, scale and architectural drama.
At the heart of the home, a granite fireplace anchors the expansive living, dining and kitchen zone. The central kitchen is both stylish and practical, appointed with granite benchtops, a 900mm stainless steel gas cooktop and oven, and abundant storage — perfectly designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining.
The main level accommodates three bedrooms, complemented by a versatile formal lounge, home office or 5th bedroom with direct access to the rear deck. A beautifully appointed bathroom, complete with vintage clawfoot bath, elegant tapware and classic detailing, services the zone with timeless appeal. Nearby, an inviting rumpus/library offers yet another layer of flexible family space.
Ascending the handcrafted timber staircase reveals a private mezzanine master retreat — a sanctuary of its own. Featuring a walk-in robe, ensuite, and breathtaking outlook through a spectacular feature window sourced from a former South Yarra theatre, it’s a space that feels both dramatic and deeply personal.
Outdoors, multiple access points and hand-built doors spill onto a sprawling covered deck with ceiling fans overhead — the perfect setting to entertain or unwind while overlooking the landscaped rear yard. Additional seating areas, secure off-street parking for a boat, caravan or trailer, and an oversized barn-style double garage with auto timber door and workshop space further enhance the lifestyle offering.
Thoughtfully finished with ducted heating and cooling, ducted vacuuming, quality cabinetry and countless bespoke touches, this is a home with soul — a rare fusion of craftsmanship, creativity and local history in one unforgettable setting.
