Caulfield VIC 3162

Lovingly held by the same family since it was built in the 60s, this architect-designed home is a fine example of mid-century modernist style. Characterised by flat planes, open space and large light-loving windows creating a seamless connection with an entertaining terrace and massive north-facing rear garden, the single-level design reveals a formal lounge and dining room, family/TV room and a groovy original kitchen with adjoining meals area. Sleeping accommodation is arranged on the right of the wide mirrored entry foyer and includes an enormous main bedroom decorated with vintage wallpaper, two more bedrooms and a time-capsule bathroom with two-way access. As solid as the day it was built, the pristinely maintained residence also offers ducted heating and cooling, a carport, off-street parking for up to three cars, floorboards, a garden shed and a Castlemaine Rock feature wall paying homage to its inimitable origins. Occupying a magnificent allotment of approximately 1,036 square metres with plenty of room for expansion (STCA), the sixties special delivers a fabulous framework for creating a brilliant blend of retro glamour and contemporary class. You'll be waiting a long time for something so rare and so retro to pop up again in a prized pocket that's close to Caulfield Park, Racecourse, Plaza and Station, Malvern Central, Glenferrie Road, Glen Eira College, Caulfield Primary School and Monash University's Caulfield Campus.
