North Warrandyte 49 Kangaroo Ground Warrandyte Road
'Nichol House', a Rare Robin Boyd Sanctuary
Introducing 'Nichol House', one of renowned architect, Robin Boyd's, early creations, designed for artist Tim Nichol. Gracing the pages of Home Beautiful in 1949, the home, sited on approximately 2,014 sq m, was conceived to inspire and promote inner peace, amongst Warrandyte's lush landscape. Since then, several modifications, including a semi self-contained wing and a detached split-level studio, have been added, furthering the home's functionality for a myriad of uses.
Demonstrating the architect's prominent modernist aesthetics, the home retains all of its unique, original charm; possessing excellent scope for someone to come along and add polish.
Poised amongst established gardens, with dual driveways and a carport, the home embraces a private disposition and a glorious north-facing orientation; creating a warm and inviting ambience to embrace everyday living. Inside, a wall of windows frames the property's immersive treetop scenery; decorating a lounge, a family/dining room with a stone fireplace, an open bedroom and a well-equipped kitchen that contains 900mm stainless steel cooking appliances. Two further bedrooms, a bathroom, a dressing area, ducted heating and split system air conditioning, complement the interior. The substantial-size master suite boasts its own entry, a kitchenette and an en-suite; making it ideal for guest use.
Resting amongst rambling gardens, fed by a 10,000 litre water tank, there is a multi-zone, multipurpose studio with a wood log heater, built-in benches and a wet area, which offers the space, versatility and facilities to be used for work, play or downtime.
A rare sanctuary, within walking distance to town, this is your chance to secure your slice of local history and relish the beauty and benefits a Warrandyte lifestyle provides.
