If reputations count for everything, then you truly are purchasing a home of the highest distinction. Nestled amid the private and peaceful surrounds for which the highly sought Blackburn Lake district is renowned and desired, this stunning top-of-the-court home designed by renowned local architect, Raymond Drayton, as his family residence offers the next lucky occupant a living experience that has no equal.
Featured in the November 1971 edition of Home Beautiful, 5 Brenda Court reflects the innovative design of Drayton, who helped shape Melbourne’s modernising streetscape from 1959 to 1979 with various iconic projects that include numerous churches and factories across Melbourne, the Blackburn Branch Library for the City of Nunawading and several project houses for quality builder, Inge Bros.
Plenty of glass promotes visual and physical interaction between the interior and landscaped exterior, in addition to drawing maximum sunlight into the striking 205sqm (approx.) multi-level home, which flaunts a central gourmet kitchen with quality appliances and stone benchtops, indoor-outdoor living, five bedrooms, two deluxe bathrooms (master with ensuite plus family spa bathroom), studio/teenager’s retreat/home office with separate entry and segregated living zones that translates into private living quarters for the kids and adults.
An established garden backyard with a paved alfresco area delivers enjoyment for all; a remote double garage, split-system heating and cooling throughout, 5kW solar panels, electric awnings plus Comfort Plus glass (sound and heat insulation) on upstairs north-facing windows, separate laundry with ‘Robin Hood’ ironing cupboard and thermo-shield insulation and anti-rust treatment on the roof are further highlights.
Call it ‘home’ and live with a unique point of difference within walking distance of numerous local schools, Blackburn Lake Sanctuary, Blackburn Station Village, Forest Hill Chase and Nunawading and Blackburn train stations.
