A rarely offered opportunity to acquire a highly sought after mudbrick home tucked away in the serene leafy backstreets of Eltham. The generous family home offers a truly unique layout by celebrated Alistair Knox. Set among low-maintenance gardens on a 4048m2 allotment (approx) it combines long-standing yet unique construction and passive solar principles with contemporary innovations that enhance its energy sustainability and long-term liveability!
Meticulously updated; designer elegance, luxurious inclusions, and prestigious appointments feature throughout an interior that offers exceptional living and entertainment options, paired with thoughtfully zoned accommodation solutions to ensure harmonious family living.
At the heart of the home lies the expansive open-plan living area. Set under timber-lined ceilings over a flooring of re-claimed reds, fitted with clerestory windows that combine perfectly with floor-to-ceiling double glazing and enjoying the warmth of a gas log fire and a wood fire heater, it sweeps around to the family-meals. Featuring a gas log fire and accessing the poolside alfresco, it is anchored by a striking kitchen. Showcasing Miele and Smeg appliances and stone tops over soft close drawers and cabinetry, it delivers an expansive sanctuary to unlock the inner gourmet.
Finished in re-claimed reds, the impressive outdoor spaces offer a mix of covered and open entertainment and private relaxation zones. Complemented by a solar-heated pool and gas-heated spa, a mains gas Weber BBQ and the established privacy plantings, the entire area evokes a holiday ambience family, and guests will adore!
Enjoying peace and privacy at the front of the house is a main bedroom that indulges with a fitted dressing room and an ensuite introducing the luxury of a dual basin marble vanity and an oversize frameless shower.
Three further bedrooms, a deluxe family bathroom (bespoke one-piece glass vanity and a deep soaker tub) and a spacious teen retreat opening to the garden are set at the opposite end of the house, creating a spacious wing for the remainder of the family or guests to enjoy.
Along with the choice of woodfire, gas-log, gas-space heating and a split system unit for year-round comfort, additional extras include a 6kw solar system, Retracta screens from the living areas, a Stratco low maintenance alfresco area, double garage with workshop; stone finished laundry with fitted storage, NBN connection, watering system for the gardens and covered wood storage.
A short walk to the bus and the Butterfly Reserve, primary and preschools are close by, and it's just minutes to the heart of Eltham and its station, dining, shopping, entertainment and café options.
