20 Hutchinson Street, Brunswick East, Vic 3057

PRIVATE AUCTION 2nd SEPTEMBER 3PM - REGISTERED BIDDERS ONLY

With the Japanese wabi design philosophy at its heart, this skilfully curated home, the brainchild of interior designer Kim Kneipp, embraces the imperfect and transient, presenting a truly individual property full of custom joinery and natural materials. An extension of the verdant gardens that drape the dwelling in perennial foliage, internal courtyards are dotted throughout, allowing diffuse light to dapple the internal architecture, playing off the yard's northerly aspect and tracking the sun's movements throughout the day. Flanked by Lygon and Nicholson Street, the location wants for nothing regarding premium eateries, trendy bars, boutique shopping, and proximity to transport.
