13 Dexter Avenue, Mount Eden

Set quietly apart from its surroundings, this is a residence that resists comparison. Conceived and refined by its creative owners, it is a home defined by intention rather than convention. Privacy is immediate. Beyond a sculptural concrete wall, a quietly unassuming transitional villa unfolds - anchored by a striking Paul Brown–designed pavilion that introduces a bold contemporary counterpoint to the home’s original form. Constructed in concrete block and arranged over two levels, the pavilion opens to views across a solar-heated pool and established specimen trees. Beyond the garden, Potters Park remains discreetly concealed yet immediately accessible - close enough to hear the distant joy of children at play, a gentle reminder of community without any intrusion on privacy. Light is ever-present yet carefully moderated, captured through 10ft stud grandeur, expansive glazing, and floor to-ceiling glass that shifts the mood from morning brilliance to softened afternoon calm. As day turns to evening, the atmosphere deepens - every light thoughtfully and painstakingly positioned by the vendors to create an evolving ambience, moving seamlessly from sunlit days to sultry nights. At the centre of the home, the kitchen is its true heart - refined yet welcoming, designed for connection as much as function. Supported by a separate scullery, a spacious laundry and excellent storage, it performs effortlessly for everyday family life while rising beautifully to the occasion when entertaining. Accommodation is generous and versatile, with six sleeping spaces complemented by a dedicated music room and a formal dining room - offering flexibility for blended families, teenagers, or multi-generational living. Here, traditional architecture and modernism coexist in balance, creating spaces that invite reflection, restoration and quiet enjoyment. Materiality plays a leading role: pressed English heritage metal ceilings, romantic fireplaces, crafted timber screens and carefully positioned planting create moments of texture and rhythm, elevating the everyday into something quietly artful. Bathrooms throughout the home have been thoughtfully designed, ensuring a consistent level of comfort and finish - allowing the next owners to simply arrive and enjoy. An EV charger has also been installed, discreetly supporting modern, future-focused living. This has been a home of life well lived - a place of creativity, family, celebration, and continuity. Each room speaks its own language, yet together they form a cohesive and compelling whole. The property is situated outside flood zones, providing further peace of mind - and zoned for Epsom Girls Grammar, MAGS, Balmoral School Primary, adding significant appeal for families seeking the very best education. Photography captures only a fragment of the experience. With the owners now embracing a new chapter, this remarkable residence is ready to be discovered - and reimagined - by those seeking something truly exquisite and one-of-a-kind....
