ICONIC MASTERPIECE DEFINED by its inviting warmth, this endearing retro-meets-modern masterpiece was designed in 1962 by one of the country’s most enduring and prolific architectural thinkers, Robin Boyd. He was passionate about design and over 50 years later, sympathetic renovations have melded the mid-century aesthetics seamlessly with a 21st century makeover. Light-filled rooms accentuate the focus on minimalist houses with no space lost in passages but with rooms that are relatively large. Stylish interior design elements include window walls and striking pointed ceilings with the signature exposed beams and recessed lighting, ultimately leading to an easy natural flow outdoors to decking platforms and the captivating views which can’t be built out. The placement of the house with the natural fall of the land makes the view a standout feature of this remarkable property. Modern lines define the kitchen with country Aga, yet discreet with fully integrated Sub Zero Fridge and Zug appliances accentuating functionality and style. Granite surfaces provide the opulence. Accommodation in three independent bedrooms and three bathrooms provides the ultimate guest residence in this glass house
on the hillside. Offering abundant living space, original chemise style fireplace in the library and media room for perfect living options. Sweeping down the driveway, the landscape lawns flow into an animal paddock that is perfect for horses. The top section of the property is flat, useable and is dotted with mature exotics. The countryside setting commands phenomenal views across over seven acres (approx.) of lush gardens showcasing the natural amphitheatre to the Yarra Valley and Great Dividing Range in absolute privacy and integrates via floor-to-ceiling windows with the home in perfect harmony. Paul Chai, in an article on Boyd earlier this year, commented that “the landscapes dominate the bedrooms, the kitchen and the dining room; the mood of the building changes with the clouds and the sun” a perfect definition of Moorabinda Lodge. Abundant birdlife and a pair of resident wedge tail eagles, contribute to the country feel. Unmistakeably one of the most iconic hills properties, immaculately presented and truly loved by the current caretakers. Back on trend and a truly rare opportunity to secure a slice of Robin Boyd history, viewing is essential to appreciate the home you have always dreamt of living in. ●

HOME FOCUS
THIS IS HILLS LIVING AT ITS FINEST RISING up in complete harmony with
the surrounding landscape, “Serendip“ is distinctively autographed by the muchadmired and personalised signatures of renowned architect and author, Alistair Knox. “When most Australians aspired to a triple-fronted cream brick veneer with wallto-wall carpet and laminex, Knox yearned for a ’real’ Australian architecture.“ And, so... his legacy lives on in this utterly unique creation of vertical timbers, expansive glass and majestic Bluestone. Knox was an idealist; an architectural pioneer who believed in the “relationship“ between a house and its environment. “It’s the air and the sky and the power of the sunlight, written into and over and through the flora and fauna that satisfy our vision, both inward and outward“, he wrote. Forty years ago, Knox worked hand-inhand with Serendip’s original owners to create this intriguing and inventive home... with absolute respect for its unspoilt panoramas stretching from the Bellarine Peninsula to the upper reaches of The Yarra and spectacular sunsets over the You Yangs. Could you ever have dreamed of living amongst the sheer beauty and serenity of The Dandenongs while claiming views of Port Philip Bay as your very own? A rare opportunity to experience this captivating property and experience the wonderful connection with nature with walls of glass and earthy mediums, is proudly offered. In private seclusion, Serendip rests into the landscape on almost two acres at the end of a lengthy sealed driveway entered through grand wrought iron gates. Surrounded by landscaped gardens and meandering pathways, the home extends over three fascinating levels of multi-zoned living spaces and four zoned bedrooms. Originating around nine telegraph poles, the custom-designed floorplan culminates in what Alistair Knox nicknamed “The Great Hall“ ... a spacious living and dining room with huge open fireplace, gazed down upon via an extensive upper-level gallery walk-way. Whilst the entire home features direct outdoor access from so many vantage points, this grand living room also spills outdoors to a large entertaining terrace and fernery. Every room is individual and impressively characterised by the architects signature and thoughtful improvements by Serendips’ two owners including: •Private master bedroom with adjoining parents’ retreat/study and semi-ensuite. •Two children’s/ guests bedrooms sharing full ensuite facilities. •Fourth ground-floor bedroom or executive study with the rich texture of naked Bluestone. •Family room opening to wrap-around deck with those stunning bay views. •Gourmet Tasmanian Oak kitchen with granite benchtops and top-shelf stainless steel appliances. •Third family bathroom with polished Red Gum vanity and Japanese-style bath set below a large picture window. •Enormous underhouse workshop with potential to convert to rumpus/garage. •Two internal staircases; hydronic heating; almost 9000 litres rainwater storage (plus mains) Experience the captivating views and seclusion of this iconic property to appreciate true hills living at its finest. ●
