6 Rubida Drive, Langwarrin, VIC 3910

This striking single-level home showcases stunning architectural design elements and is sure to impress. Designed and built by legendary Australian modernist architects Fasham Johnson circa 1988, the home is a beautiful example of their design philosophy of 'bringing the outside in'. The home incorporates soaring-high raked ceilings with clerestory windows, and banks of large-format windows perfectly oriented to the north-easterly aspect so that natural light floods the living spaces. The craftsmanship of elements such as the timber-panelled ceiling detail, combined with a natural colour palette celebrating brick-and-timber tones, create a timeless interior that is warm and inviting. The main entrance opens to a spacious lounge and dining room with exposed brick fireplace. The second open-plan family room has beautiful views of the back garden, and both living spaces open via sliding doors to an enormous alfresco entertaining area for seamless indoor/outdoor living. The cook’s kitchen includes double-bowl sink, dishwasher, cooker with gas burners, pantry, breakfast bar and servery window connected through to the alfresco. The main bedroom has built-in robes and an ensuite. There are three additional bedrooms each with built-in robes, and a family bathroom with bath and separate toilet. There is excellent off-street parking for multiple vehicles including a double carport and space for a campervan, or boat. Solar passive design principles have been implemented in this home, in the orientation and precise placement of windows, so that the home is naturally warm in winter and cool in summer. Extra features include ceiling fans, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, solar panels, feature-lighting, large laundry, garden shed and veggie-patch. The home is surrounded by lush established gardens creating an outlook from every window. Located in a quiet street within the Langwarrin Park Primary and Elisabeth Murdoch College school zones, walking distance to Melaleuca Reserve, Lloyd Park and the Gateway Shopping Centre, you’ll be moments from all the amenities that Langwarrin has to offer. Inspection is a must to fully appreciate the flow and flair of this skilfully designed home.
