Terra cotta tiled steps through terraced gardens guide you to the door of this architecturally designed 1970s brick built masterpiece. ‘Inala’, from its position above a tree lined avenue in Wheelers Hill, sits on more than 800m2 of land. This is an extraordinary house embracing an imaginative use of space, light and angles and accentuated by its high timber vaulted ceilings, exposed Daniel Robertson brickwork and large windows. A house that demands your attention.

It is superbly located in Wheelers Hill close to Caulfield Grammar, primary and secondary schools, major shopping centres, train services, transport, Eastern and Monash Freeways, parks and recreational services are mere ‘icing on the cake’.

The impact is immediate from the time you enter the front door. The formal lounge wraps around a large open fireplace, whilst floor to ceiling windows and sets of sliding doors, on either side, open onto an east facing balcony, and a secluded ‘terra cotta’ paved entertaining area . A step to the adjoining dining room and a central hallway connecting the rooms on the ground floor. The master bedroom with ensuite, tall timber BIRs and doors to its own private courtyard. A large study, laundry, pantry, downstairs powder room and sizeable rumpus room. Centre stage lies the light filled family room and the beautifully designed chefs kitchen boasting exquisite timber fronted units and masses of workspace. Doors from the family room provide additional access to the outside entertaining area with its backdrop of trees and terraces.

From the family room stairs rise to an upstairs gallery and, from there, to the first floor accommodation. A large family bathroom and separate toilet services three generous family bedrooms furnished with timber fronted wardrobes, large windows and magnificent views of the leafy neighbourhood and, from the front, the Dandenongs. Internal stairs access to the basement garage, storage are and workshop, slab heating in 5 zones, air conditioning in family room and kitchen help make this a unique family home designed for an amazing lifestyle.
