Mid-Century Magic On A Bushland Block (And On The Market!)
On The Market
On the outskirts of Melbourne (37 kilometres north-east of the CBD to be exact) lies Mount Evelyn, a quaint and bushy suburb surrounded by creeks and in close proximity to the Dandenong Ranges National Park.
This original mid-century house was built in 1967 and has been held by the same family ever since – until now. It’s on the market people!

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
