One of only two residences designed by architect, Russell Carlisle, is on the market with price expectations over $2.495m.
The residence, at 12 Melton Road Glenorie is fittingly named ‘Carlisle’ and sits on two hectares of land.
“There were only two Russell Carlisle designed properties ever built. One is located on Old Northern Road and the other is this stunning Glenorie estate,” Sandy Ward, selling agent of Ray White Dural said.
The 30 year old home offers grand scale country living perfect for the entertainer with formal reception rooms, alfresco dining areas and a two bedroom self-contained apartment for overnight guests.
“Although it was built three decades ago, the design is timeless and offers all the modern comforts of everyday living.
“The home is quite palatial in its proportions. The outdoor terraces are vast and overlook the pool and beautiful grounds.
“The property is maintained by a full time gardener, the grounds are landscaped and kept to an impeccable standard,” Ms Ward explains.
12 Melton Road was built before Russell Carlisle passed away aged 42. The design reflects his talent as an architect and is testament to his visionary designs.
“The style of the home is one that will remain fashionable throughout the ages. Some trends come and go, but this design is enduring.
“This is a truly rare opportunity to secure a slice of Glenorie history,” Ms Ward concludes.
