27-29 Romaine Street, Blackheath, NSW 2785

位于Romaine Street山顶高地的“Icomb”住宅，是由悉尼著名遗产建筑师Margaret Des-Grand设计的罕见世纪中叶经典之作。这座优雅的住宅舒适地融入山间景观，其独特的建筑结构首先吸引你的目光。与许多世纪中叶的住宅不同，它们倾向使用较轻的建筑材料，Icomb明智地选择了全砖结构，在需要保温的地方巧妙地使用砖块，同时保持了世纪中叶房屋阳光充足的特点。

住宅高耸于山上，其有趣的空白街面外观使其看起来像一座现代中世纪堡垒，仅有一个入口通向中央私人庭院。这里朝北且遮蔽良好，是享受黑希斯冬季晴朗、凉爽、清新气候的理想之地。入口左侧是一面雪松框制的落地窗，构成了房屋北面，将阳光引入宽敞的主客厅。

尽管设计现代，房屋却散发着一种永恒的手工艺品质，大胆坚实的砖细节与“Brushbox”地板和精选塔斯马尼亚橡木高天花板形成鲜明对比。罕见的塔斯马尼亚“Myrtle Beech”木材装饰着壁炉架、通往卧室的楼梯以及从地板到天花板的透明书架。房屋配备中央燃气供暖和一个令人惊叹的砖砌壁炉，成为房间的焦点。

主卧室位于生活空间上方几步，增加了隐私性。三个卧室中有两个内置了衣橱。当前业主在庭院远侧增加了一个有趣而时尚的父母休息区，这个被称为“Pod”的区域包括一个步入式衣橱和一个宽敞的浴室，以及一个朝北的大主卧室。原始房屋的厨房和浴室也进行了全新改造，使这两个房间现代化，同时巧妙地保持了原始住宅的复古风格。

房屋和花园横跨两个土地产权，景观成熟且私密，拥有许多稀有引进植物。庭院设计增强了身处绿意盎然的天堂的感觉，蜿蜒的小径引领探险者到达这个美丽而罕见物业的多个层面和花园“房间”。在物业最高点建有艺术家工作室，这里光线均匀，被艺术家Harold David用作创作空间。

以下是房屋亮点：

• 1500m²占地两个产权
• 惊人的世纪中叶Margaret Des-Grand设计
• 安静且高耸的位置
• 中央管道供暖
• 艺术家工作室

这是一栋罕见、多功能、独一无二的住宅，将不会在市场上停留太久，因其非常特别。

Designed by Sydney based heritage architect Margaret Des-Grand, 'Icomb is a rare Mid-Century gem.

Set high on the hill at the top of Romaine Street, this elegant home sits comfortably in the mountains landscape.

Standing in the street the first thing to draw your attention is the construction, many Mid-Century homes gravitated towards lighter construction materials such as timber frame with fibro-cement infills which is terrific if you live on the beach, not so great if you are 1100 metres above sea-level!

Not so for Icomb, the architect very sensibly chose full brick, but the brick has been cleverly utilised where the insulating qualities are needed without compromising the light and sundrenched characteristics that make a mid-Century homes such a desirable place to be.

Being perched up high with its intriguing blank street facade the house looks like a modern day medieval keep with only one entry door to take you to the central private court-yard.

This is a terrific place to be, north facing, sheltered and drenched with winter sun, what a lovely micro-climate to enjoy those sunny cool and crisp winter days that are so prevalent in the Blackheath winters.

To the left of this entry is a wall of cedar framed floor to ceiling windows which make up the North face of the house, again, they bring all that sunshine into the main living room which is generously proportioned.

Whilst contemporary in design, the house exudes a timeless craftsman quality, in its bold robust brick detailing contrasted with Australian timbers including 'Brushbox' floors and high ceilings of selected Tasmanian Oak. The now rare Tasmanian timber 'Myrtle Beech' lines the fireplace mantle, the stairs to the bedrooms and the floor-to ceiling see through book cases. The house has gas central heating and a stunning brick fire place that forms the focus of the house. The main house bedrooms are set a few steps above the living spaces giving added privacy. Two of the three bedrooms have built in wardrobes.

The current owners have cherished this home, and have added a fun and funky parents retreat on the far side of the courtyard, this 'Pod' includes a walk in robe and a roomy bathroom as well as a spacious north facing master bedroom.

In the original house the kitchen and bathroom have also had a fresh makeover that modernise both rooms but cleverly mirror the vintage style of the original home.

The house and the gardens straddle two land titles, with the landscaping being well established and private with many rare exotic plants. The design of the courtyard amplifies the feeling of being in a leafy paradise with winding paths taking the adventurer to the many levels and garden 'Rooms' of this lovely and rare property.

Set at the highest point of the property is the Studio, a space designed for its even light and utilised as a creative place for artist Harold David, previously a successful photographer and now a sought after emerging artist specializing in large scale canvas work that are exhibited by a select handful of galleriests.

So come have a look, this is a one off, a rare home with unmatched versatility and will not last long as it is so special.
