In the leafy enclave of Caulfield North, where Melbourne’s urban pulse meets serene suburbia, 208 Kooyong Road is a radiant emblem of mid-century modernism. Like a treasure box brimming with hidden gems – both old and new – this home offers design lovers a sigh of relief as a relic of the past given a graceful new lease of life. Browse Domain’s property and lifestyle magazines. Crafted by the esteemed Dr Ernest Fooks, one of Australia’s most significant post-war architects, it embodies his refined minimalist ethos, marked by sleek lines, expansive glass, and elegant restraint. Fooks, who once resided in the neighbourhood’s iconic Fooks House, has left an indelible mark on Melbourne’s architectural landscape, and this home stands as a testament to his visionary artistry. For Renato and Domenica Greco, their chapter with this home began with a serendipitous discovery. While seeking a property for their daughter, they stumbled upon this pristine mid-century marvel – its structure, solid, and heart, enduring. “We had to see it for ourselves,” Renato reminisces. “Winning it at auction, complete with Fooks’ original plans, felt like discovering a rare gem – a piece of history waiting to be cherished.” During their initial inspection, the couple were captivated by Fooks’ brilliance, evident in the home’s perfect land orientation, lofty ceilings, expansive windows, and impeccably clean lines. “The original features, like the exquisite handcrafted joinery, copper handles, and vast glass panes, truly stood out,” Renato recalls. “As did the skylights and highlight windows that flood the space with natural light, seamlessly blending the indoors with the outdoors.” Why David and Yuge Bromley fell in love with this modernist home 'at first sight' How Sage X Clare's Pheobe Bell bought her Warrandyte home after a 'stickybeak' 'I hate a sparse house': Comedian Rhys Nicholson lists their colourful Coburg home Many original elements were strikingly forward-thinking for a home built in the 1960s. The couple admired the innovative built-ins, including the bar, pull-out benches, and entertainment joinery. “These features, along with the Murano glass light fittings, were simply spectacular,” says Renato. “We also restored Jakob Rudowski furniture that came with the house, adding vintage glamour that echoes throughout.” In 2022, the Grecos embarked on a meticulous renovation to modernise the home while preserving its historical essence. Led by the expertise of architect Lani Fixler Studio and builder James Davis of One-off Construction, a labour of love ensued. “We removed doors and opened up the passageway and entry to the lounge, enhancing the home’s airy, open feel,” Renato explains. “The main bathroom and walk-in robe were also remodelled to create a new en suite and walk-in robe for the main bedroom.” Additional updates included transforming lower-level storage into a bath-sauna room, adding a new laundry and mudroom, replacing the cream carpet with a warm tan shade, and crafting a contemporary kitchen. “We adore the new kitchen with its sleek cabinetry and quartzite countertop on the island, chosen for their bronze and brown touches, complementing the warm feel,” says Domenica. “These elements enhance the home’s appeal without detracting from its original magic.” The outdoor spaces have also been revitalised with the help of Joanna Gelbak Landscape Design. A new front fence and garden entry retain the mid-century aesthetic while offering a fresh perspective. “We’ve enjoyed many sunny days around the pool and peaceful moments in the outdoor areas,” Domenica shares, “from the classic ’60s patio and cabana with banquette seating and a barbecue to the swings surrounded by landscaped gardens.” Rejoicing in the Palms Spring, Slim Aarons-esque outdoor scene, the home has hosted vibrant celebrations. Just as intended. “Entertaining and dinner parties with friends have been so wonderful here,” says Domenica. “When you open the built-in bar, pour a drink, and play a record in the original entertainment joinery, dancing, laughing, and singing tend to follow.” Everyday life in this home has been equally fulfilling for the couple, crafting a serene backdrop for creating precious memories. “From the moment I wake up and look outside through the highlight windows, the view of the backyard and pool is simply spectacular,” Domenica says. “The full-length balcony is ideal for greeting a new day.” When the house was featured by architecture publisher The Local Project, Renato and Domenica felt immense pride. “It was gratifying to have our collective efforts recognised, all while respecting the brilliance of Architect Ernest Fooks,” Renato reflects. “We had big shoes to fill, but I believe we preserved his legacy.” With dreams of a large farm with ocean views and recently becoming grandparents, the Grecos have made the bittersweet decision to move on to a new chapter. “Living in this beautiful home has been wonderful,” adds Renato. “We’re proud of what we’ve achieved and hope the next family creates their own memories within the walls of this timeless treasure.” The information on this website is intended to be of a general nature only and doesn't consider your

confrontation erupted near a Caulfield North synagogue on Monday night when about 150 pro-Israel demonstrators surrounded fewer than a dozen pro-Palestine activists who had planned to protest at an event that featured former Israeli officials the Free Palestine Coalition Naarm led a call on social media for a “snap rally” outside the Caulfield Hebrew Congregation on Inkerman Road in response to a planned talk at the synagogue titled “Israel’s challenges and opportunities in a new Middle East” The Australia/Israel Jewish Affairs Council (AIJAC) panel event included former Israeli air force chief Eitan Ben Eliyahu and former Mossad intelligence directorate head Zohar Palti shortly before 4pm the pro-Palestinian group called off the rally alleging “threats of serious bodily harm” against demonstrators AIJAC later confirmed the venue for its event had been changed as a precaution dozens of people waving Israeli flags gathered outside the synagogue from about 6.30pm – alongside police and private security guards Right-wing activist Avi Yemini – who appeared to be filming for his Rebel News platform for much of the evening – led a small group to confront James Crafti an activist who was wearing a keffiyeh (Palestinian scarf) on Inkerman Road The Age saw a man in a grey hoodie throw Crafti to the ground as the group blocked him from walking towards the synagogue Police put Crafti in handcuffs before he was escorted away “I turned up because I feel [the AIJAC event] was using a Jewish institution to further advocate for war crimes,” Crafti told The Age on Tuesday morning “I thought the Zionist protesters were absolutely thuggish.” who didn’t know the AIJAC event had been moved said it was “entirely wrong” for the police to arrest him Victoria Police later confirmed a 39-year-old Brunswick East man was expected to be charged with breaching the peace and failing to move on “The police should have been ensuring there was a safe right for anyone to protest,” Crafti said James Crafti is detained by police near the intersection of Orrong and Inkerman roads on Monday night.Credit: Luis Enrique Ascui The most serious confrontation on Monday night occurred a few hundred metres east of the synagogue where hundreds of Israel supporters surrounded about 10 pro-Palestine activists The larger group chanted “bring them home” and “get a job” some calling the protesters “cowards” for wearing masks The pro-Palestine group mainly chanted “free free Palestine” while some members blew bubbles Police scrambled to separate the groups at the intersection of Testar Grove and Inkerman Road The crowd dispersed at about 8pm when the Palestinian supporters walked away Israeli music blared until about 9pm as the pro-Israeli crowd continued waving flags at cars passing by Free Palestine Coalition Naarm described its cancelled action as “a peaceful protest called by Jewish anti-Zionists and do not acquiesce to our religion being weaponised as a tool of genocide” Former Israeli justice minister Ayelet Shaked was slated to attend the AIJAC event, but the Australian government denied her a visa last week on character grounds Shaked made headlines last year after calling for all Gazans to be deported and the Palestinian city of Khan Younis Caulfield North resident Julian Millman said he joined the pro-Israeli crowd because he wanted to support the local Jewish community “I don’t believe they’re here to try and protest,” Millman said of the pro-Palestinian activists AIJAC executive director Joel Burnie said it was “deeply upsetting and sad” that the Jewish community still had concerns about “safety and protection in our own community” “Governments need less words and more action,” he said The tiny group of pro-Palestinian protesters on

Wednesday Melbourne's inner-city suburb Caulfield is best known for its famed racecourse which has served punters since opening its door way back in 1876 There's no obvious point in time when or why it was decided Caulfield would have a number of different suburbs, rather just the changing of planning and urban development in Melbourne over the last two centuries has seen it so Over 50 per cent of the population have at least one child Caulfield has the biggest split of apartments in the dwelling count Caulfield South has over 12,000 residents. It has the least number of apartments, just 14 per cent of the suburb. It is also the most dominated by families, namely due to the Caulfield South Primary School and the popular Princes Park The domination of family homes across the Caulfield suburbs has proven difficult for developers to acquire land to create an apartment building and are reaping rewards as they're bringing something to the suburbs which don't often see too much in the way of new development We've wrapped up the top three apartment developments for sale in Caulfield, Caulfield North, Caulfield South in November 2023 Circa Property Group recently launched Caulfield Rise a six-level building with 47 two and three-bedroom apartments Prior to the launch last month, 60 per cent of the apartments were snapped up, given the rare opportunity to buy into the Caulfield market Designed by Ewert Leaf, Caulfield Rise incorporates light brickwork creating a seamlessly integrated look with the streetscape The charcoal metalwork and vertical modules infuse a contemporary flair and enhance the building's facade a designated key drop area welcomes residents with marble and wood elements accentuated by floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the interiors with natural light Generous balcony and terrace areas offer views of the city and the bay The kitchens centred around an island bench are well-appointed by Miele appliances and are finished with elegant timber and natural stone surfaces double-glazed windows for abundant natural light with a mid-century touch Residents can access communal amenities that include a barbecue and a landscaped garden terrace offering extensive views of Melbourne Caulfield Rise offers convenient access to Coles Elsternwick and dining and coffee options such as Vegi and Coffee Lover Pty Ltd Wanda Terraces comprises 24 two- and three-bedroom apartments ranging from 90 to 262 square meters each with two bathrooms and two secure parking spaces Designed by the award-winning Ewert Leaf the spacious apartments showcase pale oak flooring and bespoke detailing with cutting-edge home technology such as biometric finger access and an app-enabled video intercom The open living spaces, designer kitchens, and dining areas open into expansive private ground-floor courtyards or elevated terraces.

So who knows what lies he's told her.' Daily Mail Australia has contacted Colosimo, his lawyer and Ms Sneddon for comment. Ms Sugar has also refused to comment.   But a close friend of Ms Sugar's said the actor was still very much in a relationship with her and he had maintained he was simply doing 'some work' at her friend's house.  'They've known each other since her youngest child was born and they were best friends spending three or four days a week together,' the friend claimed.  'As far as she knows, Colosimo moved back in with his mum a few months ago to take care of her. 'He has always told Sabella he has been faithful and never stayed at another woman's house.' It is understood Ms Sneddon offered to give the unemployed actor two weeks' of work painting, which ballooned into months of toil.  'He started staying there until like 3 or 4am and Sabella told her it was really inappropriate for him to be working until that time because he'd come home and demand dinner,' the friend said.  Colosimo's own family are understood to be concerned about where the actor has been residing, allegedly telling Ms Sugar he had not been staying with his mother.  'Vince has told them this woman is the mother of a school friend of his daughter and he's just helping her renovate the house,' the friend said.   Photographs taken this week show him using power tools outside the Caulfield North property.  But one neighbour claimed Colosimo often arrived at the property in the dead of night and had been doing so since early May.  'He comes and goes at all times of the night and early hours of the morning. A woman moved in there earlier this year,' the neighbour claimed.  'It’s been consistent but I couldn’t advise a routine. He often leaves in the mornings. It looked like he was moving stuff in a few nights backs.  'She drives a silver Mercedes and has a son. The lights are often on til all hours of the morning if I get up. It’s definitely an overnight situation. 'When I’m walking the dog early morning, I’ve seen him several times, usually leaving the house between 6am and 9am. He really does get around.' Chelsea told Daily Mail Australia she had repeatedly attempted to inform Ms Sugar about Colosimo's affairs, but her warnings had fallen on deaf ears.  'Vince will never be faithful to anyone, he's not capable of it,' she said. 'He's told Sabella he was looking after his sick mum while he was staying with me.' Colosimo was suspended from driving in October 2022 for 16 months after being caught driving while unlicensed.  At the time he had three prior convictions for unlicensed driving and one for drug-driving, between 2015 and 2017.  Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting Colosimo has driven a vehicle this year while suspended.  Colosimo has been warned he faces a stint in jail if caught driving while unlicensed again.  Victoria Police refused to comment on Colosimo's driving status.   Major terror attack 'was just HOURS away' before it was foiled by the special forces and police:...

Gary Peer Caulfield director Phillip Kingston said the three-bedroom property was built for Dr Fooks and his wife Noemi A curved ceiling in the living room is one of the most impressive features He said Fooks House had been the ultimate party pad for the couple so it was a home where they entertained in a huge way,” Mr Kingston said “Their time was spent was having friends over to this house and celebrating life.” Dr Ernest Fooks created the house for himself and wife Noemi Original features remain completely intact Retro finishes include a colourful living room bar curved wooden ceiling and bespoke brickwork both inside and outside the home Mr Kingston also noted a Japanese influence in the design including its landscaped gardens and sliding doors “Most modern interior designers and architects would kill to be able to create something like this.” A pool in the large backyard adds extra appeal The 1092sq m block includes a large pool and is on one of Caulfield North’s most prestigious streets Ms Fooks successfully secured National Trust heritage protection for the house in 2002 In a Beaumaris Modern video by Trace Films Ms Fooks said the house had always caught the attention of architecture enthusiasts The property is on one of Caulfield North’s best streets “There is no maintenance required for this house,” Ms Fooks said “People think I’m crazy to live in such a big house on my own “Every room has a function and access to the garden.” The property has been heritage listed by the National Trust While the home has remained in original condition since its last transaction there are approved plans and permits for an extension which add a second storey with another living room and three additional bedrooms “It would be a sympathetic addition to the rear which does not impact the heritage listing,” Mr Kingston said “The owners were going to do the renovation but their circumstances have changed so they are now passing the property on to its next owner.” A

first-home buyers to escape the rental crisis Is housing affordability today really that bad? and 31 out of those 35 sold,” Mr McCarthy said “I think the fact that buyers are now seeing the end of interest rate rises means they coming into the market with confidence they won’t have to face huge interest rate rises.” Ray White Victoria chief auctioneer Jeremy Tyrrell said the agency had recorded a 75 per cent clearance rate this week out of 176 auctions along with continuing challenges for the rental market are fuelling strong buyer demand and competition at auction with the average active bidders at auction continuing to grow each week,” Mr Tyrrell said “With the spring selling season well underway and more stable economic conditions for the nation the real estate market looks set to continue on its current trajectory for the remainder of the year.” The home is something of a time capsule inside The last time Australia experienced a series of interest rate rises close the current 4.1 per cent cash rate was February to May 2010 the Reserve Bank progressively increased the national cash rate from 3.75-4.5 per cent before it remained at 4.5 per cent for a six-month period A Real Estate Institute of Victoria spokesperson said this occurred when the world was emerging from the Global Financial Crisis and “many government incentives were in place which would have seriously impacted market conditions” The spokesperson said July 2023’s average 74.7 per cent clearance rate was “slightly higher” than 67.5 per cent level experienced in July 2010 “Also the reserve bank at the time was concerned with inflation being too low being only 1.2 per cent in September 2009 below the target band of 2-3 per cent and much different than concerns of high inflation today,” the

it are going to restore it,” Mr Hamer-Taylor added And the owner won’t be moving too far away “He is downsizing and he loved the area so much that he bought a new property across the road,” Mr

Romanesque style and opened in 1916 It was converted into residences and the Melbourne Tram Museum in a project completed more than 20 years ago The property is waiting for the new owner to put their

landmark that appeared destined for demolition will be restored as a home after selling to a young family Caulfield North’s Lind House was listed for sale in late September after the property gained temporary heritage protection that thwarted its developer-owner’s plans to build eight townhouses in its place The five-bedroom house at 450 Dandenong Rd achieved an undisclosed price within its $2.1-$2.3 million quoted range earlier this week Rodney Morley selling agent Rochelle Butt said the buyer was a young upsizing family from the Caulfield North area who were drawn to the house’s

said the family planned only to “update (the 1959-built house) so they can live comfortably” in it “Obviously they’re not pulling anything down they’ll just be making it liveable by updating the plumbing Glen Eira mayor Mary Delahunty said the buyers had met with the council’s heritage advisers to ensure they could “make some necessary changes” that were sensitive to the original design The buyers don’t plan to change the ‘50s house too much The house fetched between $2.1-$2.3 million Ms Butt said she received multiple offers during the property’s month-long selling campaign including one from an overseas-based Australian architect planning to move back to Melbourne But the architect’s proposed settlement period was too long to strike a deal CoreLogic records show the property previously changed hands for $2.105 million in July last year The developer who bought it later applied for a planning permit for the construction of “eight dwellings”, prompting modernist architecture advocates to launch a call to arms to save the “modernist classic” This resulted in Glen Eira council seeking — and being granted — interim heritage protection for the house from Planning Minister Richard Wynne Ms Delahunty said the council’s subsequent effort to obtain permanent local heritage overlay for the Lind House was “three-quarters of the way done” with public submissions closing on November 13 She said the council would also formally object to Heritage Victoria executive director Steven Avery’s recommendation that the house not be included in the Victorian Heritage Register next week Mr Avery wrote in a recent report that the house did “not possess the cultural heritage values qualities or rarity” to make it worthy of state significance but noted it could still possess local significance The council hopes to achieve protection for the residence’s exterior and internal features including its distinctive built-in timber shelving samantha.landy@news.com.au

family time came from an era of architects that had those basic needs unmet according to listing agent and Rodney Morley director Rochelle Butt The Caulfield North property was built in 1969 335 Alma

fill these houses with joy because they’d just come from such a depressing climate and these were talented people.” The multi-level home was designed for socialising A basement-level rumpus room full of “flower power” was also likely influenced by the conditions faced by the architects before they settled in Melbourne “They came from bunkers and god only knows what so they also built a safe room

ball saying it’s time for more post-war homes to be considered for heritage protection thanks to a last minute push by Glen Eira council RELATED: Grand $10.8m Armadale house being pulled down At a council meeting on Tuesday night, mayor Mary Delahunty said the council would write to Planning Minister Richard Wynne asking for interim protection control measures to save the house at 450 Dandenong Rd. It was designed by popular mid-century architect Anatol Kagan in 1956 and remains remarkably intact from when it was built in 1959 The five-bedroom house was bought about a year ago by a developer who plans to build eight townhouses in its place The house sold for $2.105 million last year changed hands for $2.105 million in July last year The City of Glen Eira’s website indicates the new owner has applied for a planning permit for the 842.6sq m site for the construction of “eight dwellings” including six double-storey homes and two triple-storey Australian modernist architecture enthusiasts — including comedian Tim Ross and the Design Files’ Lucy Feagins — are urging fellow admirers to object to the redevelopment in a last-ditch attempt to save the house Glen Eira Historical Society vice-president Barbara Hoad said her group was not aware of Lind House’s possible demolition but it had written to the council last year stressing “the urgency of a heritage review of post-war houses from the 1950s and 1960s” “These houses are fast disappearing in the Glen Eira area and the architecture of that time doesn’t seemed to be valued,” she said Kagan expert and Built Heritage principal Simon Reeves echoed this call: “We’ve looked at Victorian Art Deco — the time is ripe to look at ‘50s and ‘60s houses because they are now historic,” he said The City of Glen Eira should consider following suit and doing a study on post-war Melbourne.” The house retains distinctive build-in timber shelving — a trademark of Kagan’s Mr Reeves said Russian-born Kagan was prominent in Melbourne in the 1950s designing homes largely for fellow European migrants in blue-ribbon suburbs including Kew author of 2014 book Gentle Modernist: The Nine Lives of Anatol Kagan said Lind House was one Kagan’s “largest and grandest” Melbourne creations and also one of the most intact to this day He said the house had been admired over the decades by passers-by and architecture students, who made a Wikipedia page for it and was recently publicly lauded by significant post-war architect Neil Clerehan The house was sold by a fashion designer by last Lind House was marketed by selling agency Biggin & Scott Prahran as a “landmark” home with “enormous potential to restore or redevelop” Selling agent Suzie Farrell said the property was sold to a developer by an “eccentric fashion designer” who’d kept it in its original condition during her time living there “Most of the people who came through (the open for inspections) came from an architecture or fashion background,” she said “The person who loved it most was another high-end fashion designer who would have loved to preserve the property but it was a little out of her price range.” Ms Farrell said the house “wasn’t in good nick” and would have required another $250,000 to $300,000 to be spent on it to bring it up to a liveable standard Modernist Australia founder Patricia Callan is among those leading calls for the house to be saved urging fellow fans to contact the council to oppose its redevelopment “This home will be demolished before the year is out unless the Glen Eira council hear an uproar,” she said Mr Ross — a mid-century-house enthusiast and one half of comedy duo Merrick and Rosso — also urged Melburnians to “ring the Glen Eira City Council and give them a serve” in a post on Instagram “We are on the cusp of creating a bogan version of Blade Runner in our suburbs and it has to be stopped,” he told Caulfield Glen Eira Leader editor of popular design blog The Design Files also posted a plea on Instagram for the house to be saved: “This wonderful example of Melbourne modernist residential architecture will likely be demolished before the year is out,” she said And Australian mid-century design history writer Dean
