Designed by Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin, this three level home has been zoned into several wings seamlessly linked to the outdoors. For sale by Gordon Hope and Liz Walker of Nelson Alexander Ivanhoe.
Occupying a prime position high above a botanical garden, this Eaglemont Art Deco home was inspired by the timeless architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright.
Agent Gordon Hope told WILLIAMS MEDIA, "It's an architectural icon - situated in Eaglemont’s most highly regarded position, this special home is a spectacular blend of Art Deco character and contemporary elegance.”
The residential estate of Eaglemont was designed in 1914 by Walter Burley Griffin and his wife and partner Marion Mahony Griffin, leading figures in twentieth century architecture, on land owned by grazier Peter Keam, a founding member of the Town Planning Association of Victoria.
Set on a vast, historically significant garden block (1,971sqm approx), the iconic home offers a mix of strong horizontals, gentle curves, and natural textures, with exquisite period detail.
Zoned into several wings for maximum privacy, the residence centres around a spacious, light-filled family living area with floor to ceiling glass.
Impressive formal living and dining rooms access a connoisseur's kitchen on the main floor of the home, near to three double bedrooms plus a fitted study. Upstairs, the striking master wing comprises luxury ensuite, WIR, home office and library retreat.
A billiard room with home theatre, plus bar, climate-controlled cellar and studio/workshop can be found downstairs.
Fringed by stone-paved terraces and lawns, the home is seamlessly linked to its outdoor spaces, including a heated swimming pool, al fresco entertaining, a pool house with full gymnasium, plus rear access to a Burley Griffin-designed residents' park.
Close to the Melbourne CBD, leading private schools, shopping centres and the hospital precinct are also nearby.
