18 Dickens Street, Blackburn VIC 3130

Resting peacefully in a gardener's paradise of flowering shrubs and shady trees with land totalling 677 sq m approx., this mid-century modern home was architect-designed by Basil Walker in 1963 as part of the Small Homes Project led by Robin Boyd.

Surrounded by the leafy beauty of a treasured family cul-de-sac that is only metres from Blackburn Lake Sanctuary, extensive banks of glazing draw these picturesque views inside. Perfectly comfortable throughout, enjoy spending time with friends and family alongside the open fireplace in the spacious lounge and dining room. Dappled sunshine spreads across the north paved alfresco, spilling into the central living room. Features a kitchen with stainless steel appliances, four bedrooms, a study and two bathrooms including an ensuite.
