Modernist Magic

Enjoy the best of contemporary family lifestyles in this magnificent modernist retreat designed by architect Hank Romyn. A stylish mid-century statement as relevant today as it was at the time it was built in the early 1960s, this stunning home is set back on its generous 1/3 acre (approx.) allotment surrounded by landscaped gardens and advantaged by northern orientation in a peacefully treed setting.

Unique architectural highlights include huge picture windows which blur the line between indoor and outdoor living spaces and timber detailing of upstairs ceilings, built-in shelving and cabinetry, unique bar and kitchen benchtops. A full height void over the sitting/family room allows natural light to flood through both levels of the home and balconies across the front give sweeping views through neighbouring trees from the bedrooms.

The floorplan currently allows for 4 upstairs bedrooms and a study, but is versatile in its design. The main bedroom offers a WIR and ensuite defined by an impressive curved wall of glass bricks, and there is also a family bathroom. The 4 vast living spaces on the ground level could be allocated to suit the resident family dynamic and currently are in use as lounge, dining room, sitting/family area and comfortable and inviting meals/TV room off the pristine original kitchen.
Further features of this remarkable home include hydronic heating, split system air-conditioning, flagstone flooring, powder room and laundry plus an expansive alfresco deck with spa, salt chlorinated pool, huge garage/workshop, covered storage space and boat/trailer/caravan parking area.

Close to primary schools, Yarra Valley Grammar, Luther and Oxley Colleges, station, parkland, sporting reserves and walking trails and Chirnside Park Shopping Centre. Minutes to Eastland and Eastlink.
