Blue Mist - A Mid-Century Modern Home
____________
Proudly introducing 'Blue Mist', an architect designed home that displays rich integrity, modern ingenuity and a fully featured fit-out that is simply one of a kind.
It's history:
The home was designed by acclaimed late architect, Dr Ernest Fooks from the 1953 Age Housing competition, then built in 1959 on the newly subdivided Blue Mist Farm. The home was part of a Small Housing Service established in 1947 by the Royal Victorian Institute of Architects and managed by Robin Boyd.
Today:
Drawing inspiration from its Mid-Century roots and butterfly-style roofline that was typical in like-designs, the home flaunts a functional double storey footprint that is beautifully framed by Japanese Zen gardens.
Teak timber cladding fronts the bespoke home, which is introduced by a stone paved patio. Inside, Tasmanian Oak floorboards adorn an open plan living and dining room that is decorated by an original brick mantle with a gas log heater. A HIA award-winning kitchen is the focal point of the room, it contains teak cabinetry, an inbuilt Fisher & Paykel Fridge/Freezer, an Ilve stove and pyrolytic oven, a Quasair rangehood, an Asko dishwasher and feature glass splashbacks that slide open to reveal additional storage.
A low-E sliding glass door opens to a covered Spotted Gum alfresco deck to create one large skylight-lit space, where indoor-outdoor living can be fully embraced. The surrounding gardens provide an immense sense of tranquillity and there is a lawn area with a vegetable patch that can be enjoyed by young children.
The other side of the home features a secondary Spotted Gum deck with back-lit artwork, which is accessed via a versatile studio office/bedroom. Two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a custom Bluestone-accented bathroom with an extra-large bathtub conclude the ground floor.
A floating Silvertop Ash staircase leads the way to a private master retreat, which showcases a Tasmanian Myrtle feature wall, a balcony with uninterrupted Mount Dandenong Ranges views, a walk-in wardrobe, an under-floor heated en-suite and a laundry chute.
Lavished with eclectic details and quality inclusions, why not escape the ordinary and live life in this extraordinary home.
