This beautiful mid-century modern [MCM] home is cleverly designed with an emphasis on inspired interiors that pop and oversized windows and doors that make for a seamless indoor/outdoor transition.
Nestled well back from the street and framed by an established native garden, this stylish residence that is as timeless now as it was when originally designed and built in the seventies. It provides an idyllic family sanctuary on a private 683sqm allotment. The high, raked ceilings and streams of light create an uplifting sense of space, while outside is the perfect setting for families who love to entertain.
