Private Home
Midcentury Clifftop
Kew, VIC, Australia
The Space
Perched above the Yarra River and surrounded by lush native bushland, this classic mid-century modern home designed by acclaimed architects Daryl Jackson and Evan Walker (1974) is a timeless retreat that has been meticulously and sympathetically renovated. Every element of the home reflects its architectural heritage — from the clinker brick façade to the warm timber interiors and the terrazzo floors that glimmer in the natural light.
Flooded with north-west facing glass, the home captures panoramic views across the Yarra and Yarra Bend golf course, offering a constant connection to the landscape and sky. The seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living makes this property a stunning location for creative projects — ideal for photoshoots, television commercials, film productions, and design campaigns seeking authenticity and atmosphere.
Inside, the residence is a masterclass in texture and tone. A bespoke timber kitchen with deep green tiled splash backs and stone bench tops opens to an expansive living space where clean lines and honest materials define the aesthetic. The glowing timber panelled walls, sculptural pendant lighting, and polished concrete deck reflect the era’s design ethos while embracing modern comfort.
Each room celebrates light and tactility — from the tranquil bedroom with floor-to-ceiling glazing and treetop outlook, to the textured brick reading nook accented by soft curtains and mid-century furnishings. Outside, a verdant kitchen garden and native landscape surround the property, offering layered backdrops of greenery, texture, and shadow.
With its blend of architectural integrity, refined detail, and cinematic outlook, Midcentury Clifftop embodies the soul of 1970s modernism — a private, light-filled sanctuary perched on the edge of nature.
