Overview
Located in one of Caulfield North’s most prestigious areas, this mid-century modern home designed by Sol Sapir presents an exceptional opportunity to own a distinctive and architecturally significant house. The property, held by the same family since its completion in 1967, is a rare surviving example of Sapir’s work, known for its clean, uninterrupted lines, natural timber use, and thoughtful spatial arrangement.
Set on approximately 694 square metres, the low-slung residence is framed by mature, high-walled gardens that provide privacy and a sense of seclusion. Its design is centred around a bright, north-facing courtyard that brings abundant natural light into the living areas and creates a harmonious indoor-outdoor flow.
The interior spaces balance formal and casual living with split-level formal living and dining rooms and a welcoming casual domain at the rear. Character-rich features such as olive carpeting, timber panelling, and custom joinery emphasize the home's 1960s heritage, offering built-in seating and a concealed cocktail bar that speak to an entertainer’s sensibility prevalent in the era.
The kitchen is a focal point that retains its original period charm with Daniel Robertson ceramic tiles and electric appliances, cleverly positioned for easy access to both the courtyard and garden, enhancing the home’s usability for modern living and entertaining.
- The main bedroom enjoys garden views along with a fitted walk-in robe and ensuite bathroom featuring a bath, providing a private retreat within the home.
- A flexible rear wing includes a study or additional bedroom with sliding Japanese doors, two more bedrooms with integrated workspaces, and a second bathroom, ensuring functionality and adaptability to different family needs.
Modern comforts supplement the home with solar power, ducted heating, split-system cooling, an alarm, extensive storage options, and a workshop-studio accessible via the double garage, adding practical value without compromising the property’s original character.
Its location enhances lifestyle appeal being within walking distance of notable schools like Melbourne Grammar Grimwade and Caulfield Grammar, convenient proximity to Balaclava Road transport, Caulfield Park, and vibrant shopping and dining on Carlisle Street and Glen Huntly Road.
