Offered to the market for the first time in it's incredible existence, here is your opportunity to secure not only a magnificent unique home, but also your financial future. Situated on approx. 1670m2 over two titles, enjoy having a massive north-facing backyard while the kids are young, then sell it off and cash in when footballs have been replaced with lectures and text books.

Cleverly located at the front of the home, the large Master Suite is complete with WIR and dressing room, ensuite and a study that could easily be a second WIR if you'd prefer (there's another separate study also so you won't be losing out). Your own private terrace is a perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee in the warmth of the rising sun.

Timber-lined ceilings maintain a seamless flow and sense of connectivity throughout the home, while a majestic light-filled hallway is clearly the work of a clever architect in creating exceptionally functional spaces. Sri Lankan Architect Bala Balendra worked for the great Geoffrey Bawa in the 1960s and transported the Asian influence modernist tradition to several houses around Melbourne, including this masterpiece in Strathdale.

On the southern side of that hallway, the open-plan kitchen, dining and living extend out to a huge alfresco and courtyard. Hop over to the northern side and the magic of this home really starts to sink in. Soaring ceilings and loads of natural light combine to create an overwhelming sense of comfort, fulfilment and most importantly perhaps - of home.

The intimacy of the sunken lounge is just divine, while the adjacent formal dining could become whatever you want it to be. Sliding doors from each of those rooms lead you out to another substantial outdoor entertaining area with pergola, and also provide line of sight to the massive yard.

Heading further down that marvellous hallway leads you to the kids/guest wing. 3 large bedrooms all have BIR and desks, while one is treated to it's own ensuite. The other two have their own courtyards with external access, and are serviced by a central bathroom with separate toilet - like it should be!

You'll love being close to some of the finest schools the region has to offer, and being in the CBD inside 10mins.

You're either going to love and appreciate this home just the way it is, or perhaps make some updates to combine the old and the new. Either way, best line your ducks up before viewing as this one is going to be popular!

If you've made it this far, pick up the phone to organise an inspection - you won't be disappointed.
