Mid century modern architectural dream

Step back in time, when renowned architects of the day Lawson, Cheesman, Doley and Partners, were commissioned to design a home that was unquestionably ahead of its time. This much loved one owner home is filled with many happy memories and remains as original and decidedly different as when the bricks were laid in 1958. Mid-century enthusiasts will love this uber cool home.

This well thought U-shaped home sits on a lovely large allotment of 754m2. There are two wings to the home which are divided by the entrance hallway. The breezeway and bathroom facilities connect the two wings. The northern wing comprises open plan living, kitchen, laundry and study. Whilst the southern wing, somewhat dormitory style in its arrangement, is made up of four bedrooms.

This exciting offering encompasses a wonderful use and blend of unique materials - from the use of straw in the roof and thatched and coloured ceilings and exposed wooden beams. Queensland brush box hardwood floors feature throughout and the use of Kauri and pine finishes in the kitchen, laundry and bedrooms. The exposed brick is also another notable feature of the style of architecture of the era.

The kitchen is in excellent condition throughout, with laminate benchtops, oodles of storage and a St Georges oven plus a servery with drawers that open from both the kitchen and dining areas. The living room, with lovely high ceilings and floor to ceiling windows, is drenched with lots of northerly sunshine and the quaint study adjacent to the dining area has a lovely outlook to the front garden. The tiled laundry, larger than most, comes with pull out ironing board, table and again storage galore.

The entrance and breezeway lined with cupboards is adjacent to the unique three roomed bathroom, shower recess and w/c.

The bedrooms are generous in proportion, three offer built-in bedding, shelving, drawers and cupboards. The sun filled master bedroom with ceiling fan and air conditioning unit has a lovely view across to the private courtyard. There is also space to add an ensuite bathroom in the future if so desired.

Additional features that make this home enticing include:
Big picture windows
Vergola
Retractable sliding doors
Garage
Carport accommodation for several vehicles
Split system air conditioning unit
Storage cupboard and firewood storage

There is still plenty of yard space at the rear for children and pets to roam freely with established lawns and secure fencing or the potential to further develop.

An iconic property.... a very rare offering and an absolute pleasure to present in this highly desirable location so close to local amenities and public transport.
