Architectural Pedigree, Extraordinary Privacy and an Outlook Over the Yarra!
Set on an expansive 662.5 m2 corner allotment (approx) in a peaceful pocket, opposite the open spaces of Westerfolds Park and with an uninterrupted view of the Yarra directly opposite, this one owner home offers an increasingly rare glimpse into the enduring philosophies of Alistair Knox, architect John Pizzey and landscaper Gordon Ford, all of whom collaborated in the design, construction and finish of this instantly impressive dwelling.
With the influence of each legend beautifully expressed inside and out, reclaimed bricks, slate floors, a carefully considered selection of timbers, floor-to-ceiling glass and dramatic vaulted timber ceilings combine in an interior that’s rich in texture, craftsmanship and atmosphere, in a home where a timeless sense of warmth and belonging remains as captivating today as when it was conceived.
Thoughtfully preserved, sensitively updated and constructed in solid brick, the north-facing residence retains the architectural integrity and character that define its era, while introducing the comfort and functionality expected of contemporary family living.
Creating a compelling proposition for mid-century enthusiasts and lovers of the works of Knox, Pizzey and Ford, it offers generous living, dining and entertainment spaces including a lounge anchored by an open fireplace in a brick feature wall and overlooking the river.
Opening to a paved precinct which invites relaxed entertaining backdropped by the Yarra, it sweeps through to a meals area stretching out from a marble detailed kitchen showcasing Miele, Bosch and Qasair appliances.
The first floor introduces three bedrooms. Complete with a sleek contemporary ensuite and opening to a treetop balcony with an outlook over the river, the main shares the level with two further bedrooms served by an updated luxurious family bathroom. A ground floor study provides options as an extra bedroom if desired.
Outside, landscaped courtyards, established gardens and inviting entertaining areas unfold beneath a canopy of greenery, creating a setting where outdoor living comes naturally and maintenance remains refreshingly manageable.
Designed and constructed in the same style as the main house, a shed with fitted shelving or a possible work room, partnered with a double carport that offers secure parking behind a remote door. The positioning of the house brings a strong sense of connection to the community, as the area is frequented by exercise groups including cyclists, walkers, runners and canoeists.
Sitting in the catchment area for Templestowe College and Templestowe Park Primary School, it is perfectly positioned within an easy walk of buses, Main Yarra Trail, Finns Reserve off lead dog park, Wombat Bend Playground, and all the shopping, dining and café options of Templestowe Village. With the CBD within a 30- minute drive and Westfield Shopping Centre a 10-minute drive away, this beautiful location provides the best of both worlds.
