Magnificently set in a lush, treed Studley Park pocket near the banks of the Yarra River, this striking modernist residence c1956 is impressively elevated amidst leafy botanical garden on a 758 sq. metre allotment (approx.). Designed by owner-architect Geoffrey Danne, the bold exterior and expansive interior were deservedly lauded in the day with the property featured in Australian House & Garden magazine (June 1957).
Extensive full-height glazing, multiple alfresco areas and a towering two-level wall in Oamaru limestone, salvaged from Melbourne University's original Wilson Hall, frame the vast, free-flowing layout of this substantial family home. Character-filled, comfortable and entirely compelling, its innovative design has inspired celebrated architects such as Sean Godsell and today it is set to spark the imagination with scope for a sensational renovation or luxurious remodelling (STCA).
Extending from a reception area to an inviting lounge room with cocktail bar and a wine cellar, the floorplan unfolds leading to a spacious second-level family zone. A large living room projects out to a huge terrace, an impressive dining hall adjoins a balcony and at the rear is a kitchen and meals area. There's also a powder room and a bathroom.
