The names Caradoc, Ashton, Fisher, Woodhead & Beaumont Smith may not mean much to you now. But they will the moment you see in the flesh their glorious creation on a corner parcel in Lower Mitcham.
It makes sense that so many names (or at least one very respected 1960's architectural firm) were behind such a fine example of the Modern Movement style, hidden like the treasure it is amongst the landscaped beauty of its Viesturs Cielens-reimagined gardens.
Add the name Bill Kay to the list. The architect behind a 2004 renovation that enhanced the home's flow and included a new kitchen, laundry, additional bathroom, powder room and 4th bedroom/rumpus room.
But not one inch of its remodel diminishes the functionality, minimalism, clean lines and innovative use of materials embedded in its original Modernist principles.
The result is a far-reaching, flexible home that utilises vast openings, clever ventilation techniques, prolific glass and a series of courtyards to maximise its comfort levels, flexibility, natural light and unrelenting connection to the outside world.
Whether it's the central lounge room made for swashbuckling movie nights and quieter moments of reflection, the bedrooms that could all make a case for master duties, or the open-plan family room drawn to its stone-topped kitchen, every space affords a garden view of some description.
Spend a second - or an entire afternoon - amongst these lush, artful gardens and life slows down in this beautifully serene pocket of suburbia, just a fleeting moment to Mitcham Square Shopping Centre, public transport, Local Crowd and Bond & Lane cafes and more. The only name missing is yours.
