Lodge House, Circa 1959
24 LISTER STREET, KEW EAST
This unique home is a jewel of 1950s modernist movement. Characterised by the architecture of the time in its use of geometric glass forms and an iconic steel frame with an allure and character that shines brightly today. Beautifully elevated on a substantial 1575sqm block overlooking Hays Paddock, Lodge House has only been owned and lived in by the architect’s own family and is cherished for its bold and dramatic architectural style. The home naturally embraces the northerly aspect of the block, while providing superior family accommodation in a prized position.
A wide entry way with soaring ceilings welcomes to a broad living and dining area at the western end of the home. Here, north facing windows flood the home in natural light, and the granite stone fireplace adds textural warmth and interest. A terrace on the western side of the building offers treed views across to Hays Paddock. A kitchen, bathroom and laundry separate the living space from two upstairs bedrooms, placed at the east end of the home to catch the morning sun where a second living area provides options for quiet pursuits.
The lower storey of the house works practically, with undercover carparking and storage cleverly incorporated into the building. An outdoor fireplace is set within a solid granite stone feature wall that anchors the house from top to bottom. Entering to the ground floor two large bedrooms are well positioned with a play area/retreat and connect to the first floor via a spiral staircase.
Large triangular windows, interior design based in functionality and open floor plans intent on connecting indoors and outdoors effortlessly draw you outside, where a substantial and wonderfully private established garden feature a number of outdoor spaces to enjoy surrounded by towering eucalypts. Enviably positioned in the heart of Kew East, surrounded by parkland, walking and bike trails, and with easy access to the Eastern Freeway for CBD access, public transport and in close
