24 Iluka Street, Black Rock, Vic 3193

Lofty, light-filled and set in a lush coastal landscape, this polished two bedroom, 1.5 bathroom home gives single-level living a split-level edge. An innovative example of late/mid-century design with two living areas split across the levels, this impeccably presented home has room to dine alongside a European appliance kitchen (with integrated drawer-dishwasher), sun-filled space to lounge beside a glorious gasfire, and a tiered sandstone-paved garden bathed in north sun beyond a tall wall of glass including a north-west pillarless corner window.

Retaining the best design elements of the original architecture with bespoke cabinetry wrapping the dining-area and a vaulted roofline rising above the living zone, the brilliant design features a quiet bedroom wing centred on a stylish skylit two-way bathroom; ensuite to the fan-cooled master. With a full separate laundry, and an additional powder-room, the home is appointed for today’s living with ducted heating plus reverse-cycle air-conditioning and good storage including tall built-in robes.

Set in approx 362sqm grounds with a well-utilised north-west aspect, this luminous design shines in sun-catching gardens; with a random-paved walled-garden out front, a high-hedged yard to the rear, and a generous double auto-garage on a streetfront drive.

Just around the corner from the Balcombe Rd bus (to stations, Southland and the Mentone and Brighton schools), this singular home has the bars, boutiques and beaches of Black Rock Village within a minute, the best of the world-class Sandbelt Golf Courses at the top of the hill, and in-demand Black Rock Primary School and Beaumaris Secondary College in Zone.
