Designed for a Danish family and inspired by timeless Scandinavian principles, this remarkable architect-designed mid-century home is a masterclass in light, simplicity and effortless indoor-outdoor living. Behind its understated façade, high timber-lined ceilings, warm brick floors, expansive glazing and a series of private terraces create a home that feels every bit as captivating today as when it first featured in the Australian Women's Weekly in the 1960s.
The breathtaking open-plan living and dining room forms the heart of the home, where a dramatic pitched ceiling, walls of glass, louvre windows and a striking two-way open fireplace create a wonderful sense of warmth and connection. Beyond, the well-appointed stone kitchen and adjoining meals area spill effortlessly onto a sun-drenched terrace, while a separate library/sitting room with built-in storage offers a peaceful place to read, work from home or unwind.
Thoughtfully designed around the changing needs of family life, the privately positioned main bedroom enjoys built-in robes, an ensuite and direct access to its own secluded terrace, accompanied by a fitted home office that also opens outdoors. In a separate wing, three additional robed bedrooms share a central family bathroom, while a fifth bedroom, third bathroom, a private sitting room and a terrace provide exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living or guests.
Outside, four private terraces, low-maintenance gardens, a large heated pool and spa create a series of outdoor rooms that invite entertaining and quiet reflection. Additional features include hydronic heating, CCTV, split-system air conditioning, and a garden shed. Zoned for acclaimed Box Hill High School, the home is within walking distance of Blackburn Lake Sanctuary and Blackburn Station Village, and a few minutes from Forest Hill Chase, Box Hill Central, Box Hill and Epworth Hospitals, Deakin University, the Eastern Freeway and EastLink.
