Art Is at the heart of this evocative mud-brick loft house built in 1990 by veteran builder Michael Young, a former Nillumbik Shire mayor and founder of the Mudbrick Association. A vast studio has multiple uses; the house offers romance in slate, timber, slow-combustion wood fire and a cedar hot tub; and the private treed block of 1468 square metres, with a bush reserve to Diamond Creek behind, is off the beaten track yet walking distance to the shops and station.
