12 Riley Street, Oakleigh South VIC 3167

Achieve the dream of living with iconic design in one of Melbourne's highest-achieving school zones! Set beyond an eye-catching wide frontage in the heart of the Oakleigh South Primary School Zone, this innovative c.1971 brick Vindin Suarez home offers rare architectural integrity …renovated for today's family living.

A showcase of great contemporary design with formal lounge-dining centred on a monumental brick fireplace, the home lights up with open-plan family living beyond a custom Caesarstone kitchen with Miele and Neff appliances …and extends into north sun with wide timber sliders opening to an all-weather al fresco area. Cleverly zoned, parents to the front in a fan-cooled master-suite (with walk-through robe to a stylish ensuite), this clever design places kids quietly to the rear along with a designer main bathroom, and provides a gently-lit study nook alongside the entry's feature leadlight window.

A showcase of great design with terrazzo-style polished concrete floors flowing inside to out, light-catching skylights at every turn (even in the al fresco area and garage!) and streamlined Shugg windows to the north, this modern classic retains rich original features including exposed brick walls and beams, timber ceiling-lining and panelling, and bluestone paving. There's even an original barn-door to the flexible fourth bedroom!

With contemporary comforts including ducted climate-control plus a high-capacity Ultima woodfire-heater, a walk-in pantry and built-in robes, the home is set in generous approx 615sqm grounds with sunny lawns for kids to play. With at least four car parking including a dual-door auto-garage (with naturally lit workshop and studio space), there's also an additional trailer nook tucked into the landscaped native gardens!

Just 7 doors to highly-rated Oakleigh South Primary School and around the corner to the College, this expertly crafted home enjoys a lush low-traffic location against the backdrop of the tall trees of Metropolitan Golf Course. Minutes to Oakleigh's restaurants, shopping and station, and just a little further to Chadstone's fashion capital, this unique home has handy Links Shopping Centre within a walk, and bus routes in all directions close.
