6 Asquith Street, Austinmer NSW 2515

Between 1962 and 1977, this innovative building company headed by two architects Brian Pettit and Ron Sevitt, brought to the Australian domestic architectural scene, simple functional elegant modernist design. The brand is respected and remembered and still desired by those wanting to live with architectural simplicity. Simple lines and functionality sit proudly with this home, ideally located in a beautiful bush setting between the mountain and the sea. The company Pettit and Sevitt have had resurgence and have now re-launched their range of sustainable wonderful homes.
Polished blue gum floors feature throughout this home. The original Spinner fire will warm your winters as you sit and stare into the flames from any point in the lounge. Cool summer breezes gently pass through keeping a relaxed feel. All living is on one level and the home is elevated into the trees. Underneath is an artist studio of 70 square metres with glass walls looking into rainforest, and the flooring has been paved using recycled bricks.
The double front doors open onto a deck among the trees, walking through this beautiful space; you are met with a serene feeling. The open nature of the living area flanked by windows, lets light in gently and evenly. Start and finish your day with Lyre birds and other gentle forest treats. Cross the road and head into the escarpment via the Gibson Track. This 1.5km gentle loop walk through tall eucalypt trees will freshen your senses - great for a family to enjoy. For the more adventurous, you can take the more challenging bushwalk of the Sublime Lookout track - 14km of rugged trek.
The home is clad in Western red cedar and has copper guttering as well as exposed beams extending throughout. The adjoining creek is lined with local rock and beautiful recycled brick paved paths wind their way to the home. The balconies provide private areas to be at one with nature. This home will entice the fussiest of Austinmer buyers.
