Privately and securely positioned at the end of a long tree-lined driveway in a tightly held complex, this sun-drenched, north-facing villa, designed by the renowned modernist Fredrick Romberg of Grounds, Romberg and Boyd was ahead of its time when built in 1958. The "Yarralands" complex is a rare example of mid-century architectural design, which delivers a truly unique living environment with a classic flat-roof design and north-facing floor-to-ceiling glass wall providing both an abundance of natural light and overlooks a sunny, low maintenance courtyard set behind a front glazed partition.
The recently updated interior features beautiful original hardwood floors, a generous living and dining room including a sleek kitchen equipped with premium quality Smeg and Euro stainless steel appliances; opening to the courtyard with awnings over the twin pergolas - ideal for indoor/outdoor dining or entertaining. Complemented by two good-sized bedrooms with built-in robes and a stylish black and white themed bathroom with a concealed laundry. Other features of this character-filled home include original light fittings, R/C air conditioner and overhead fan (living) and carport parking for two cars.
Enjoy this sought-after location within walking distance of Fairview Park and Yarra River walking and cycling tracks. Moments from the West Hawthorn shops and station or Glenferrie Road shopping, cafes, restaurants and the Lido Cinema. With easy access to nearby Swan Street, Richmond, Swinburne University or the CBD via CityLink or trams - further reinforcing its inner-city lifestyle appeal and investment potential.
