9 Smeed Street, Black Rock, Vic 3193

Fine design is always in style, great quality lasts a lifetime and a Golden address will be valued forever... find all three in this notable architect designed home by Ray Sweeney. This craftsman-built four bedroom plus home-office, 2.5 bathroom, triple zone 40sq home showcases the best design features of its time including soaring timber lined ceilings, walls of north-facing glass, streamlined Blackwood cabinetry and impressive fireplaces (one gas, one open).

Set on around 8492sqft/789sqm with a central pool garden (with stone-surround pool and adjacent sauna) maximising north sun and a peppercorn-shaded backyard beyond a covered al fresco area, the home follows an innovative L-shaped design with pool-view formal lounge, dining and kitchen with angular meals supplemented by a bar-fitted games-room (big enough to fit a billiard table), a lofty cathedral ceilinged family room and a versatile first-floor lounge.

Expansively accommodating with a balconied first-floor master domain (with dual vanity, spa-ensuite and dual WIRs), there's a garden-focused home office opening to a front vegetable garden, a bonus study nook (perfect for the kids' computer) and generous car accommodation including a double auto-garage with workshop and a dedicated boatspace. Climate controlled by in-floor hydronic heating, Nobo panels and air-conditioners, there are today's comforts (including ducted vacuum and alarm) and energy/water efficiencies (including Rinnai EnviroSmart hot-water, 1 KW solar panels and a 2000L tank).

Just 150m from the Half Moon Bay clifftop in the heart of the Golden Triangle with the school bus close and the Sandbelt Golf Courses within reach, this contemporary classic has the design, quality and location of a lifetime!
