What's around 166 Ilam Road

Mid-Century with a Modern Mindset

Download the property info pack at www.agentsend.com/ILAM (copy and paste the link into your browser) Redpath House remains a defining piece of mid-century design, now reimagined through a fresh renovation to offer elevated modern living across its 1,008sqm site in the heart of Ilam. Designed in 1970 by Minson, Henning-Hansen and Dines, Redpath House has been thoughtfully restored by Lemonade Living to bring its original architecture back into focus. Opening up the living space has revealed the dramatic height of the cathedral ceilings, while skylights drive natural light across the interior. The kitchen is a standout centrepiece, appointed with walnut-toned cabinetry, Neolith porcelain benchtops, and quality Smeg and Schweigen appliances, alongside a dedicated bar or coffee nook. The original laundry has been cleverly converted into a scullery, keeping the functional side of the space close at hand yet discreetly hidden. An Escea gas fire has been folded into the original fireplace, and both bathrooms have been fully tiled and include underfloor heating, reflecting the same attention to detail carried throughout the home. The former conservatory has been removed to reinstate the verandah, restoring the home's connection to the garden and allowing two bedrooms to open directly outdoors. A third bedroom above the internal-access garage adds further flexibility, providing a private domain for teenagers, guests, hobbies, or working from home. No expense has been spared on the practical front, with double glazing, a new hot water cylinder, a new switchboard and an additional heat pump all adding to the overhaul. Beyond the home, the grounds are both enchanting and versatile, with a creek meandering through the garden, mature planting framing the section, and a swimming pool completing a private retreat that offers both established presence and future potential. The location ensures everyday ease, with local shops and Fendalton Village close by, the university within walking distance, and sought-after in-zone schools including CBHS, CGHS and Burnside High School. It's a natural fit for smaller families, while buyers looking to downsize or establish roots will appreciate the rarity of Redpath House - where a rich past meets a refined future. Please get in touch with Courtney for more information.
