Set just steps from the iconic Royal Botanic Gardens, this architecturally significant modernist residence is a rare jewel in South Yarra’s Domain precinct, celebrated for its award-winning design by Neil Clerehan. The home's enduring charm comes from its faithful preservation of original features that showcase mid-century modernist principles, blending indoor and outdoor living with seamless sophistication.
The residence is thoughtfully arranged around three tranquil courtyards, fostering a sense of privacy and abundant natural light throughout. Expansive floor-to-ceiling glass and warm timber ceilings complement textured exposed brick walls, establishing a timeless elegance inside and out. This layout not only enhances the home’s aesthetic appeal but also facilitates a tranquil ambiance ideal for relaxation or productive work from home.
The versatile floor plan comprises two generous bedrooms with built-in robes, a bright home office or third bedroom, and a skylit bathroom, each offering serene views overlooking the courtyards. The principal bedroom includes a fully tiled ensuite, adding comfort and convenience for everyday living. A spacious dining room adjoins the original well-equipped kitchen, designed for casual dining and social gatherings.
Dominating the living areas is a palatial, sunlit lounge enriched with custom joinery, extending through full-height glass sliders to a central courtyard featuring a pond and further to a private, north-facing paved garden. These interconnected spaces offer a perfect setting for entertaining guests or enjoying peaceful outdoor moments in an urban environment.
Additional practical features include ducted heating and cooling, a cloakroom, large wine cellar, laundry facilities, and a double garage, addressing the needs of modern family life.
