With a focus on function, form and a genuine integration with nature, this mid-modern Alastair Knox designed property is a brilliant balance between modernist allure and contemporary comfort in a serene setting in one of Eltham South’s most coveted locations.
Intelligently intended to work on a multitude of levels, the main home boasts vast living areas and wonderful vistas, while a self-contained unit ensures this property provides unique dual living options, ideal for large families.
In the primary dwelling, the versatile floor plan introduces fascinating lines – under timber lined ceilings, cleverly positioned skylights flood the large living and dining areas with natural light which open out to paved patio areas - it’s a home ahead of its time, epitomising indoor/outdoor living.
A great kitchen anchors the home with a large island bench, AEG oven, Miele cooktop, built-in refrigerator, and stainless-steel bench tops.
A large home office with separate entrance provides the perfect place to work from home, or even run a business (STCA).
Parquetry floors flow through the big bedrooms and parents/teenage retreat, while the master suite boasts an elegantly renovated ensuite for real indulgence. The main bathroom with large spa has also been stylishly refreshed.
There’s hydronic heating, split system cooling, and a large solar array with inverter.
The self-contained unit displays a similar design ethos to the main home and provides comfortable accommodation with a large living area that opens out to the gardens, parquetry floors, wood heater and air conditioning, along with a functional kitchenette with stainless steel bench tops, electric cooking and a dishwasher. The huge bedroom has a lovely adjoining sunroom, and there is a crisp, fresh bathroom with frameless shower.
Outside, the established gardens are beautiful, while the mud brick studio is an absolute boon for artists, writers and creatives. With soaring native eucalypts and established fruit trees, the sprawling 3657 square metres of ground provides a serene sanctuary.
Jalna Court, off the famed Sweeneys Lane, is arguably the most coveted location in Eltham – and for good reason.
Under a canopy of towering gums and native flora, there’s a multitude of public transport and shopping options - it’s also only moments to your choice of highly regarded schools.
Relaxed and stylish, and with all the required space and amenity, it’s a refreshing tonic for your family's wellbeing.
