Anley Sibbel

Another Sibbel home has come up for sale at 5 Anley Mews Montmorency. With a simple plan on an unusual sized block, it makes the best of orientation and materials within its compact form. And a perfect fireplace for the upcoming winter!

Sibbel shepherd

New owner required for original late 60's house at 59 Porter Street Eltham. The timber joinery handles in the kitchen are a trademark of Sibbel Builders who built many homes in the Eltham area throughout the 50's, 60's & 70's.

Sibbel Builders have been mentioned on Banyule Modern before here and here.

Sibbel Garden Open

From time to time Sibbel Homes such as this one come up for sale in the Banyule area. The founder and namesake of the company, Meyer Sibbel and his wife have since moved to Healesville where they have built a home much more in the Australian vernacular with a native garden to match. This weekend the Sibbel's are opening their garden as part of the Open Gardens Australia program. Check out details here or below if you are keen to head along!

Zig Zag Zuster

Some of you may know the designer furniture store 'Zuster' in Richmond. They are one of a handful of designer/manufacturers who still make their beautiful timber furniture in Australia. Zuster (dutch for sister) is founded by the 4 daughters of Meyer Sibbel, a builder who constructed many australian homes from the 1950's...

..such as 77 Zig Zag Road in Eltham, for sale with Bekdon Richards.  I was initially unsure about including this property in my blog and it was actually the original kitchen cabinetry which got me over the line. No wonder given its credentials!!

Front elevation.

Beautiful original timber kitchen (including handles) and cork floors. Lots of windows too.

Hearth & Home. Stunning views too.
