An icon of late 1970 excellence, crafted by the renowned Leon Fink and standing as an ode to everything that is loved about modernist architecture, this 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home is a proud entertainer in a super central and sought-after leafy treelined streetscape. Perfect for the discerning family of today, the home blends the nostalgic best of yesteryear with a love of natural light and indoor-outdoor connections to make contemporary life a joy.
Introduced by a visually striking entrance hall, the home immediately creates a bold sense of occasion and the eye is quickly drawn to rich solid timber accents, an inspired use of varying ceiling levels including a full double height void to retain your interest while enhancing the sense of light and proportion. This is a home in which the attention to detail washes over you in waves.
Central to the ebb and flow of daily family life and to home entertaining, the kitchen sits at the home's heart, joyfully light-filled and making meaningful connections to various well-designed living spaces, ensuring it caters to the needs of large and growing families as well as home entertaining both large scale and small.
Solid timber concertina doors are rich in character, creating a sense of division between the kitchen and a living room that is set under a lofty vaulted ceiling. Here, you can choose to block off the rest of the house and enjoy some glorious afternoon sun backed by vistas of the front garden, or you can leave it all open as part of the home's generally light and airy demeanour.
With an equally freewheeling ease, the kitchen also flows through a slightly more formal dining room to a lounge room where double doors extend that space outdoors to a paved living area at the rear of the home. Capturing plenty of northern sun and backed by a family-friendly backyard, this is an alfresco connection far more suited to home entertaining.
A trio of bedrooms are set atop a brilliant half-curved staircase where solid timber planter boxes at the skylit top add yet another character-filled talking point. Of the upstairs bedrooms, the primary bedroom enjoys its own chic 70s ensuite, walk-in robes and a private terrace that basks in all-day northern sun true parental sanctuary. Importantly, each of the bedrooms has been thoughtfully crafted with built-in robe storage and the central bathroom is sized for family needs with a shower, an independent bathtub and an arched window your children will always remember.
Offering also a double carport with additional driveway parking for a 3rd vehicle, central ducted heating and split system heating / air conditioning, this corner block home is superbly presented and turn-key ready to be enjoyed.
Perfectly situated for family life in a peaceful streetscape that is zoned for Caulfield South Primary School and moments from Glen Huntly Road trams for easy access to a diversity of elite private schools, plus you have thriving local cafes, restaurants, strip shopping and Glen Huntly Railway station nearby, the vibrancy of Elsternwick Village, Princes Park and Booran Reserve all within easy reach.
