Pushing the boundaries of form and functionality, this timeless residence, designed and lived in by the renowned modernist architect Charles Duncan, is an appealing example of masterful Australian design in the heart of South Melbourne. A city-edge sanctuary of exceptional quality and refinement, the home's unique positioning allows the glory of treetop outlooks in the summer and city lights in the winter, with each distinctive angle capturing the warmth of northern light.
Inside the high-fenced exterior, the garden entrance provides a rare leafy retreat amongst an urban setting, with heated floors and high ceilings flowing around the central courtyard to a streamlined chef's kitchen with stainless steel appliances and benchtops. Dine at the signature integrated dining table, or entertain in droves with an open-plan living/dining domain with a spectacular open fireplace and seamless alfresco access.
Retreat upstairs to the accommodation wing, where a bathroom and three bedrooms each boast built-in storage, including the main suite with a unique spa-ensuite and park outlooks. A fully-fitted and functional office custom-built for Charles Duncan himself provides an excellent inner-city base for a small business or as a fourth bedroom, with a secure room and an abundance of built-in cabinetry. Clever design continues through to the basement, with a 140 dozen-bottle wine cellar, storage room and large cellar room, great for wine tastings amongst friends.
Hidden lighting and switches, integrated custom storage at every turn remain hallmarks of this incredible home, with the clever additions of a secure garage via ROW, auto irrigation, double glazing, reverse-cycle heating/AC on the first floor, underfloor heating (downstairs and in the bathrooms), a powder room and large laundry. The first time offered to the market, this is a unique opportunity for a cutting-edge lifestyle on the edge of South Melbourne Market, MSAC, Albert Park Lake, the arts precinct and some of Melbourne's finest schools.
