This house comes with a beautiful polychromatic brickwork facade, character-filled period detail, contemporary living and entertainment areas including a pool in the north-facing paved garden – and a whole lot of history. The land was once owned by a three-time state premier, and Chardleigh was built in 1898. Its immutable feature is its prized tree-lined Tara Estate location, just off Burke Road and within a renowned school belt.

With streamlined form, timber detail and expanses of glass that draw the outside into light-filled, high-ceilinged rooms, this 2005-built house exhibits the influence of California modernist design. It’s discreet from its street on prestigious Scotch Hill, two doors from Gardiner’s Creek parkland and sports facilities. The bedrooms, rumpus and a study area are upstairs,  and the sophisticated downstairs living areas flow to a deck and pool in the secluded west-facing garden.
