19 Fordhams Road, Eltham, Vic 3095

Blessed with a unique floor plan from the desk of renowned mudbrick artisan, Alistair Knox, this impressive home on a 1000m2 allotment (approx) is a subtle union of the character, quirks and personality of the artist owner, the philosophy of the designer and the rambling gardens in which it sits.

Tallow, brushbox and spotted gum for the ceiling and timber walls, Jarrah for the desk in the fitted study and the kitchen with its 900 mm stainless steel range, reclaimed red brick floors laid in a herringbone pattern and feature windows framed by repurposed West Australian sleepers and set deep in the mudbrick blend seamlessly with the rich textures and colours to make this an interesting yet irresistibly warm and welcoming home.

Bathed in northern light, the floor plan a series of free flowing spaces, rather than traditional rooms, introduces a bedroom served by the family bathroom and enjoying with garden access, a spacious study and a huge open plan living area stretching from the Jarrah kitchen before opening to a decked alfresco area with stunning tree top views across the Eltham Valley. Complementing the main house, is a generously proportioned two-room studio and a bedroom with ensuite bathroom.

Moments from the pre-school, Montsalvat and an extensive network of parklands including those along the Yarra, a short walk to bus and convenience store and not much further to the primary school, high school and onto the centre of Eltham, this is the ultimate blending of lifestyle and location. The adjoining property at 6 Mount Pleasant Road Eltham is also for sale.
