'The Courtyard House' is an inner-urban sanctuary, considered one of inner-Melbourne's finest and most innovative residences.

Connected to the former St Saviour's church, the 720sqm property includes serene courtyards, a 17m solar-heated lap pool, and a spectacular roof garden.

The former nave is now a gloriously versatile open space for large-scale entertaining, family life, or home-office use.

Designed by owner-architect Ilana Kister, the home was shortlisted in the INDE awards and 2017 Houses awards. Featured in the current issue of Habitus, the light-flooded, family home holds great appeal.
