Modernist home designed by architect Charles Duncan for Fasham Johnson, bringing together two beloved names in Australian mid-century architecture.
Located amongst a pocket of significant mid-century properties including others by Alistair Knox and Duncan, this prestigious part of Old Eltham Rd has been recognised by Banyule City Council Heritage Review and provides a rare opportunity to live in a precinct of architectural note.
As a true modernist design it features a private brick exterior that opens to a light filled interior of glass and timber that frame the surrounding nature to give the home a warm, relaxed atmosphere. The picturesque single-story steel framed building perches out from the landscape to sit high amongst the tree line. Minimalist features such as hidden cavity doors, interlocking windows and custom built-in cabinetry provide an elegant, quiet luxury and are a testament to Duncan's taste and attention to detail.
With new wool carpets, timber floors, ducted heating/cooling and updated electrics, it's been meticulously restored ensuring the lines and craftsmanship of the original design remain while aligning to contemporary standards. Offered as a spacious two bedroom home upon a generous parcel of land it features two bathrooms, built in robes, ample storage, a study and large alfresco entertainment area. A substantial downstairs space currently serving as a studio presents the opportunity for an added recreation room, workspace or more.
A short walk to shops, cafes and schools and minutes from Ivanhoe and Eaglemont, this beautiful home offers a serene, low maintenance lifestyle within just 25 minutes of the CBD.
