Wayne Gillespie architecture and a comprehensive Bryant Alsop redesign come together in this completely independent two storey residence, underpinned by a level of construction rarely seen today. Originally built in 2002 and transformed internally in 2018-19, the two bedroom plus study/third bedroom home combines refined contemporary living with double brick and concrete construction, multiple living zones, two bathrooms plus powder room and off street parking for three cars.

The original Gillespie design remains at the heart of the home, while Bryant Alsop’s later redesign introduced a more considered layout, elevated finishes and a significant upgrade in performance. Double glazed metal framed windows and skylights, a new galvanised metal roof, zoned reverse cycle heating and cooling, solar panels and Tesla battery storage were all incorporated as part of the works completed in 2019.

Beautifully composed interiors unfold across two levels. A separate front lounge with enclosed gas fireplace opens to a private courtyard, while the rear of the home expands into a superb kitchen, living and dining domain overlooking the garden terrace. Pale timber flooring, extensive built in cabinetry, stone surfaces and broad expanses of glazing create a calm contemporary backdrop, with electric blinds and zoned slab heating adding another layer of comfort.

Upstairs, two substantial bedrooms with built in robes are accompanied by a fitted study that readily serves as a third bedroom. The main bedroom includes an ensuite, while a second bathroom serves the remaining accommodation.

Plantation shutters, wool carpets and excellent integrated storage continue the quality throughout.

Behind the finishes is construction of unusual substance, including double brick walls, a concrete staircase and concrete first floor. The home has also been designed to operate efficiently, with solar and Tesla battery storage, gas on demand hot water and zoned electric heating and cooling.

Comprehensive appointments include ART back to base security, Ring cameras, electric gates and garage door, automatic garden irrigation and lighting, ducted vacuum, NBN, mains gas barbecue connection and direct internal entry from the garage. A garage, carport and driveway provide off street parking for three cars.

Toorak Station is approximately 200 metres away, with Malvern Road trams, Clendon Road buses, Beatty Avenue, Toorak Park and the boutiques, cafes and restaurants of High Street Armadale all within easy reach.

Architecturally distinguished, comprehensively reworked and built with a level of substance rarely encountered, 13 Eileen Street is a beautifully considered Armadale home designed to perform as impressively as it presents.
