11 Drysdale Avenue, Eltham, Vic 3095

Owner-built with mudbricks and a carefully considered blend of materials reclaimed and reimagined from a variety of sources, this unique, bespoke home on a peaceful and private 1-hectare allotment (approx.) exhibits impressive scale, quality craftsmanship, and attention to detail in a harmonious balance of indoor and outdoor living.

Granite bench tops sit above cabinets skillfully constructed from timbers recycled from packing crates in a kitchen that works brilliantly thanks to abundant natural light, a 900 mm (approx) cooker, multiple sinks and its large walk-in pantry. Perfectly placed so the chef is a part of every event, it is the focal point of a ground floor introducing vast living, dining and entertainment spaces opening to a choice of verandas (one enclosed for year round enjoyment) on either side of the house.

Enhanced by timber floors, the generous proportions of the ground floor main bedroom are complemented by a fitted walk-in robe and an ensuite finished with a bath, Italian marble vanity and a shower offering a slumped glass screen.

Accessed via a staircase crafted from Jarrah reclaimed from Her Majesty's Theatre and stair railings crafted from train track from the original Ghan railway, the first floor introduces a spacious sitting area that opens to two generously pro-portioned bedrooms. Finished with new carpet and huge robes and enhanced by soaring, timber-lined ceilings, they share a marble and granite detailed bathroom with an oversized shower.
A short drive from St Helena Market Place, zoned to St Helena College and central to Eltham and Diamond Creek, it of-fers the perfect blend of privacy and convenience, where you can create your own lifetime of cherished memories.
