Original Ken Woolley-designed residence within a coveted lifestyle setting

This unique courtyard house by renowned architect Ken Woolley as part of Pettit + Sevitt's 1966 exhibition village, is one of the North Shore's most remarkable homes. Nestled on a private parcel, with a modesty of scale and an intimate connection to its centralised courtyard garden, the house encapsulates the quintessential characteristics of its functional modernist design principles of eco-conscious indoor/outdoor living. Sympathetically restored and extended, it represents a truly exceptional lifestyle opportunity, within walking distance to Sydney Grammar Prep, Brigidine College and St Ives North Public School.
