Constructed by Merchant Builders and designed by award-winning Graeme Gunn, this sleek mid-century modern classic exudes the sophistication of its bygone era, while lending to contemporary lifestyles with a truly versatile layout. Clean lines, wall-to-wall glass and exquisite timber panelling embellish the interior, while original Hawthorn bricks create a grand statement on the exterior, screened by leafy gardens and paved patios.

The mid-century modern approach marries indoor spaces to the outside, with vast informal and formal living zones opening to the poolside alfresco, where Daniel Robsinson hand-glazed tiling and an established palm set a tone for inspired outdoor living. Exquisite Laura Ashley wallpaper adorns the walls of the two bathrooms (including the master ensuite), with all three bedrooms possessing built-in robes. The kitchen is an original beauty with ample storage and updated appliances, while the open-fireplace in the adjoining lounge offers a cosy place to settle at night.

A separate living zone/teenage retreat lends to a world of possibility, leading onto the office and workshop - perfect for those working from home with both rooms boasting independent external access. Central heating, recessed lighting, rainwater storage and a fully fenced entrance add to the overall appeal, with exceptional scope to update or revive for contemporary living (STCA). Surrounded by the beauty of Royal Melbourne and Sandringham Golf Clubs, and set opposite Black Rock Primary School, this sleek mid-century marvel provides the best of Bayside living; a moments walk to Half Moon Bay Beach, the Village's restaurants and cafes and exclusive schools.
