This four-bedroom home in Mount Evelyn has been occupied by the same family that built it in 1967. Situated on 10 hectares of rolling, secluded bushland and surrounded by local trails, it’s pretty much the suburban dream!
The single storey mid-century house retains a clean, minimalist interior in keeping with the intention of the original layout: to highlight the natural outlook. Pale terrazzo floors stretch from one end of the house to the other, while exposed grey brick pillars demarcate the transition between rooms.
But the piece de resistance is the wall of windows which runs the length of the residence. A mix of sliding doors and floor-to ceiling windows, you’ll get a ridiculously good panoramic views from any room in the house. Incredible!
80 Clegg Road, Mount Evelyn will be sold at auction (live and online) on Saturday, January 30th at 10.30 am. See here for the full listing and inspection times.
Great article Sasha….it truly captures the magic of this home. Waking up to Kookaburras every morning in the most peaceful surrounds was a very fond memory. My mother (Kath McGrath) designed the house with Walter Gherardin of Roenfeldt, Gherardin and Assoc, Melbourne back in the 1960s. It was ahead of its time for that period. Terrazzo floor – 38mm thick! You wouldnt (couldn’t) do it today. It will be sad to see it sold …….but that’s evolution. Best rgds JOE McG
