AROUND $3m Step back in time to when a Golden Mile address meant Mai Tais on the balcony and Frank Sinatra on the record player. Occupying a 617sqm/6640sqft approx. site on the corner of Shandford Ave., this landmark 1950s home is surely one of the most well-preserved examples of post-modern architecture in existence in Melbourne today...at one of Melbourne's most coveted addresses.
Set over three levels including a street level double garage and two levels of bay-viewed balconied living, this five bedroom plus study, four bathroom home has been maintained in "time-capsule" condition. Grand formal rooms capture bay glimpses, a curvaceous kitchen is supplemented by a large dining area, a kidney-shaped bar is topped by sci-fi-style lights and separate facility bathrooms (including an ensuite for the bay-view master) showcase graphic mosaic floors.
While the retro motifs add interest, it is the integrity of the home's solid brick construction that adds value - with rich parquetry floors, lofty 3m+ ceilings and a virtually irreplaceable suspended slab construction. Elevated for bay-views on two levels, this unique property even includes a hidden treasure - an already constructed, but currently inaccessible, fourth level tower, needing just a staircase (subject to Council Approval) to capture an enhanced bay panorama.
Representing a unique opportunity to safeguard a piece of Melbourne's architectural history, this inspiring property also offers scope to create a brand new future with room for a brand new home (or two - subject to Council Approval) on this blue-chip corner.
