12 Leigh Court, Macleod, Vic 3085

Architect designed in 1962 and lovingly maintained by its original owners since, this four bedroom two bathroom Mid-Century Modern home is an enthusiasts dream.

Exceedingly private and arranged around a central alfresco courtyard, this time capsule home with its exposed beams and extensive glazing to the outdoors, is a fabulous example of the streamlined interiors of this much lauded style. From a split-level living and dining space delineated by a gas fireplace and featuring custom cabinetry a cleverly concealing a desk and bar, through a retro kitchen featuring original St George electric appliances, dishwasher and clever walk-in pantry and an additional living space that oversees north-facing rear gardens, this singular home offers plenty of space for growing families to live, work and play in a supremely sixties setting.

Bedrooms with robes come off a wide hall that includes excellent storage and houses free-flowing bath, shower, laundry and powder rooms, with the main bedroom featuring a mirrored make-up station in custom cabinetry and a privately zoned master off the second living area with a welcome ensuite.

Original lighting, tiles, light switches, timber panelling and clerestory windows exhibit the style of the era while gas heaters, split system air-conditioners, ceiling fans, carport plus off-street parking ensure modern comfort and convenience near Macleod & Watsonia Village shopping, trains, parklands and well-regarded schools.
