Alistair Knox was the mud-brick master. While his genius lies in the way his timeless,elemental structures sit seamlessly in their environment,it’s the effortless flow that gets us every single time.

The central hallway of 51 Ridge Road,Kallista,is truly the core of the house;its length and loft articulate the seamless transition between communal and private spaces.

Bell Real Estate’s Ryan Bell says the home has been beautifully preserved. “It’s a bit of a unicorn. It was built in 1974,but it’s been so well-kept,” he says. ”There was an extension in the early 1990s,and recent updates are very sympathetic.”
Those modern touches – stone bathroom vanities,a natty new fireplace in the sublime sunken living room and a contemporary kitchen – are thoughtfully woven into the original Knox fabric of slate floors,handmade brick and rich,exposed timbers.
Gorgeous large windows offer panoramic views over manicured gardens and bushland to Mount Donna Buang. The private sale of this natural beauty carries a guide of $1.38 million to $1.49 million.
