Built in 1967 and perfectly preserved, displaying the signature craftsmanship of Alistair Knox, this character-rich home on over a third of an acre in a tranquil pocket of Eltham is certain to delight mid-century enthusiasts with its expressive use of high quality natural materials, including recycled bricks, Oregon, Cedar and Victorian Ash timbers, eye-catching slate and parquetry flooring, and vaulted timber ceilings.Inside, the spacious lounge and dining room are warmed by a cosy open fire, creating a warm and inviting space to unwind.
