Eye-catching and instantly memorable. This timeless mid-century modern gem stands apart on it's lush corner block.
Custom designed by Melbourne Architect Ian Burch, this home has been meticulously built and maintained. Updates have been carefully completed by local builders with utmost respect for original materials and character.
Myrtle leaves dance in the breeze in established gardens that offer privacy and greenery. Honeyeaters flit among the flowers. Light reflects off a floor-to-ceiling wall of gleaming north facing windows. You step up onto the slate porch and are welcomed into the warm exposed brick foyer. Tassie Oak floorboards head into both wings of the house. Your eye is drawn to a spectacular Oregon timber beam that runs the length of the formal lounge, suspending the high ceilings. The glass walls create a seamless indoor-outdoor feel, and as you curl up in front of the gas fireplace, for a moment you forget whether you are inside, or out.
The thoughtful floor plan includes four living areas, three bedrooms (all with built-in robes), a master ensuite, a family bathroom, an open plan kitchen/dining/living, laundry and studio/shed in the yard.
The kitchen has vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and north facing clerestory windows that flood the room with natural light. Quality timber cabinetry is complemented by F&P and Miele appliances, including a double oven, and a generous island bench. The bathrooms have been fully updated featuring heated tile floor, heated towel rail, herringbone tiling, custom vanities, stone benchtops and Methven tapware. The dream laundry has custom cabinetry with integrated hamper drawers, vented dryer space, sink, hanging rail and abundant storage.
Year-round comfort is provided by zoned heating and cooling (three reverse cycles, plus gas heater), new underfloor insulation and comprehensive draft proofing.
In the private hedged backyard, you'll find a courtyard for morning sun and a deck that captures the evening rays. A fully insulated, lined brick studio/shed has custom cabinetry, a workbench and a large window for natural light.
Perfectly positioned near lagoon walks, the CBD, Portland foreshore and schools, this modern home has been thoughtfully presented and is move-in ready for its next loving owners.
