Whichever way you turn in this classic ’60s home, visions of the magnificent Merri River frontage or the surrounding Japanese-inspired gardens appear through the oversized picture pane windows.
Polished native rain forest eucalyptus floors feature in most of the light filled rooms – the home’s “lightness” enhanced by delicate Japanese paper doors.
Its simple U-shaped floor plan, with bedroom wings off a central living section, offers direct access to the 100-square metres of central courtyard from the window lined corridors.
The interior bears many classic ’60s hallmarks, like a wide stacker fireplace, a striking river pebbled encrusted feature wall and a rare vermiculite ceiling.
All three bathrooms have been stylishly renovated and architectural plans are drawn up for a kitchen remodel.
Windows have been tinted to ensure privacy and hydronic heating combined with a gas log heater and reverse cycle air conditioner keep this home comfortable all year round.
Sitting high on a 2535 square meter block just a short distance from Wollaston bridge, this rare ’60s gem built by Alan Lane was just the second home on the coveted Merri frontage strip.
