Templestowe Lower VIC 3107

A stellar example of chic, mid-20th century architectural brilliance, this landmark, seven-bedroom family classic - as featured in Home Beautiful Magazine - has been the architect's own meticulously maintained home for over half a century. Offered for the first time, this is a rock-solid, Ben Alexander (OAM)-designed, 35 square (approx.) home that boldly pioneered a more open-plan style of living and is certain to exceed expectations, on a peaceful cul-de-sac allotment of 1028 square metres (approx.).

Wrapping around an exquisitely crafted, light-drawing and central Japanese-style atrium garden, the living spaces manage to create an open sense of connectedness while also offering a sense of division, ensuring the home is suited both to daily family life and to larger scale entertaining. The kitchen/meals is largely original and well-designed around a floating central island bench, while flowing easily to a dining area in which the swinging-door bar is sure to be a talking piece. Meanwhile, the flow continues to a huge lounge where a staggering wall of floor-to-ceiling windows introduce streams of northern light to complement delightful garden outlooks.

Entertainers will also celebrate the continued effortless connection from a traditional library/possible pool room to outdoor living and a BBQ area that is directly adjacent to all the joy of the home's in-ground swimming pool. Importantly, the master bedroom offers parents the privacy of walk-in robes and an ensuite, whilst each of the remaining bedrooms has been completed with built-in robe storage and some also with built-in desks.
