27 Yarraford Avenue, Alphington, Vic 3078

Lovingly remodelled for a sustainable future, this warm and inviting mid-century marvel is a testament to considered, architectural prowess and climate conscious, passive design principles, with design credit going to Cate Hall and her architect partner. Blurring the lines between inside and out, sculptural native gardens form a pictorial backdrop to the layered living zones that define the light-filled interior, while the secluded, tree-lined setting is walking distance from transport, local cafes, and the winding, Yarra River trails.
