Highton VIC 3216

A FINE EXAMPLE OF THE ARCHITECT GETTING IT RIGHT
This outstanding home was designed by renowned architect Neil Everist in 1965. The International Style architecture specifically achieves the integration of the architecture into the landscape, the use of a wide north facing verandah reinterpreted as an outdoor circulation and living space or transition zone between inside and out. The magnificent 1500m2 approx allotment previously formed part of the adjoining original Victorian homestead (Circa 1890) so the proliferation of large established trees of both properties contributes to the privacy and seclusion enjoyed by this home. The large Moreton Bay fig and walnut tree are just two of the many outstanding features of the garden. Set well back from the street on the incredibly deep allotment, the owners have enjoyed a tranquil ambience not normally associated with heartland Highton properties. The home provides a large open living room with feature open fireplace, kitchen meals area, bathroom, shower room and separate toilet. A wide passage with an abundance of storage cupboards leads to the three generous bedrooms, the main with ensuite bathroom. Other features include the floor to ceiling windows in all north facing rooms, hydronic heating plus a large under roofline carport.
