149 Old Eltham Road, Lower Plenty VIC 3093

EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST: Offers close by 5pm Tuesday 20th July (unless sold prior)

In January 1953, 149 Old Eltham Road graced the cover of Home Beautiful magazine, where the writer waxed lyrical about the home designed and constructed for local artist Lindsay Edward and his wife Jan, describing Alistair Knox as "The high priest of the mudbrick movement."

The magazine revisited the home in 1969 when the writer commented, "It exhibits that timeless quality to an even more marked degree, and one gets the feeling it will look much the same in 100 years as it does now"

And while that may be true of the exterior, crafted from mudbricks sourced from materials on site…it is fair to say that the interior has been sympathetically updated to offer all the luxuries of contemporary living.

On the ground floor, tumbled travertine floors make a stunning statement throughout spaces which include a formal lounge featuring an ornamental fireplace, a playroom/retreat that opens to a private courtyard, and a spacious open plan living meals.

Enhanced by exposed beams and seamlessly transitioning out to a paved alfresco area in a peaceful and private, garden wrapped rear yard, it introduces a stunning Cheminees Philippe fireplace that blends form with function in a beautiful display of efficiency. A design trait shared with a soft close stone finished kitchen that introduces a suite of Ilve appliances, dishwasher and a combi steamer.

A study provides spaces for those making the most of working from home, while a luxury stone finished bathroom is a convenient ground floor inclusion.

Spotted gum floors are a good looking, hard-wearing addition to the first level accommodation options, including a retreat size main that offers picture windows that take in a breathtaking outlook from the Dandenong's to the King Valley. All three bedrooms are served by a luxuriously indulgent stone detailed family bathroom.

Set on a 1326m2 garden focused allotment (approx.), offered to the market for only the second time in 70 years and just a few minutes from the environs along the Yarra, a choice of renowned private golf courses, and the Lower Plenty Village, it’s a rare opportunity to experience exceptional living and an inspirational lifestyle!
