15 Albert Terrace, Belmont, Vic 3216

Located a short stroll to the Barwon River, the iconic 'Round House' presents an exclusive opportunity to secure an architectural masterpiece.

Built in the early 1960s, the home showcases a masterful union of brutalist art-deco and mid-century modern design. You'll love that stunning updates over the years pay tribute to the home's original features, blending seamlessly to create an eclectic family abode. The layout establishes a sense of flow and connectivity, with the mature gardens providing a tranquil outlook through every window.

There's no doubt that this residence is a true haven for artists and creatives. The library makes a dramatic statement with floor-to-ceiling bookcases, while north-eastern light filters through the art studio. The music room offers immense versatility as a sewing room or even a 5th bedroom. The spiral staircase provides the centrepiece of the home, with exposed brick walls, original leadlight windows and a glass atrium ceiling capturing the delicate balance of decorative vs. minimalism.

Ebony polished concrete floors enhance the open plan living/dining/kitchen zone, which flows onto the north-facing balcony for evening drinks under the stars. Designer pendant lighting accent the different zones, while the kitchen exudes quality with poured concrete benchtops and high-end appliances (ILVE 900mm oven/gas cooktop and integrated Bosch dishwasher). The custom-designed ladder leads to the rooftop terrace, where you can entertain guests and admire panoramic views over Geelong and Highton.

Four bedrooms with built-in cabinetry create a flexible layout, with two striking bathrooms boasting open showers. The home's design naturally regulates the temperature, with a gas log fireplace, gas wall heater and split-system air conditioner providing extra comfort. The large laundry opens onto the backyard and the mature edible garden is a dream come true for cooking enthusiasts. Two driveways and a single garage provide parking, while the walls of the stairwell have concealed arteries to transport rainwater (resulting in no external spouting).

This home promises a blissful lifestyle. Stroll by the river or walk to the popular That Place Patisserie and Café for your morning coffee. The delights of Highton Village are also within walking distance, while the river's footbridge grants easy access to Pakington St. A variety of schools and colleges are moments away, while GMHBA Stadium is also close by.
