A Metroland Art Deco Villa in White - Coonans Hill

Built in the late 1920s, this pretty stylised white stuccoed brick Art Deco villa can be found in the Melbourne suburb of Coonans Hill.

 

This cottage style with its low slung tile roof in a mixture of shades, white stucco work, picked out feature clinker bricks in geometric patterns, windows of frosted and leadlight glass and arched porch were very popular amongst the newly moneyed middle-class who could finally afford to buy their own homes. Comfortable and cottage like in the Metroland style of interwar Art Deco architecture so popular in Australia during the late 1920s, this house and many others like it represented stability and respectability, without being showy.

 

This house has a beautiful garden with a neat lawn, standard roses, neighbours-be-gone and a wisteria.
