Kew VIC 3101

A fine example of modernist architecture, this Charles Duncan designed home characterises an inspired pursuit of refined, easy living. Nestled among vivid gardens with mature Eucalypts, the home, completed in 1971, sees verdant outdoor areas wrap around the house, ensuring privacy to a cleverly enclosed footprint. Smartly optimising space, a quiet ground floor sees a substantial light filled living area opening onto a relaxing garden, a central bathroom with spa and walk in robe enhance bright second and third bedrooms. The superb main bedroom has an ensuite, fitted study station and walk in robe. On the first floor an open kitchen, lounge, and dining areas are framed by a signature pitched roof and exposed timber ceiling, while a mezzanine level above provides a flexible space for a retreat or study. A front yard setting and elevated deck see mature Eucalypt trees enrich morning coffees and summer evenings with friends. Recognised for its design significance, highlights include abundant storage, heating/cooling, two fireplaces, video intercom, a full size laundry, and secure, two car carport. Nestled among a Kew enclave adored for its historic homes and leafy streetscapes, it's steps from picturesque Yarra trails and parklands, Kew Junction's vibrant shopping and dining, and city bound trams and buses, while moments from the Eastern Freeway, Kew Primary and High Schools (zoned), and Melbourne's most revered private schools.
