Offers Close Wed, 21st May - 3pm (usp)
A home made of levels, light, height, space, courtyards and wings rises from the crest of sleepy Sheoak Road and turns toward the ocean like an eagle suspended in the sky.
If it sounds so good it surely can't be real, you've stumbled upon this C1982 Pauline Hurren creation, neatly planted between Belair National Park and a life-changing view that almost never leaves your side.
Pauline took everything that was great about the architectural Hills homes of the '70s and reshaped into something that was well ahead of the '80s - and stands today as a lesson in clever, efficient design.
Think double brick bones, strategically placed windows - some high, others sprouting from the floor - a northern orientation and a multi-level layout made for both retreat and togetherness.
Earthy exposed brick and timber frames ensure this solar-powered home chameleons into its rugged, gum-studded surrounds. A home that hasn't - and won't - need cosmetic reboots. It's a classic and always will be.
The ensuited main bedroom sits in one wing, the kids bedrooms in another, while a trip down the stairs reveals a retreat with kitchenette, bathroom, external access and cellar. A home within a home or just another handy space to call on.
Doors close and entire wings become places of refuge. Open them and this impeccably presented home flows, like a gully breeze, into something more inclusive.
And it all converges on a far-reaching family room that pulls you under soaring raked ceilings into its the updated kitchen - then pushes you outside.
To your very own swimming pool, no less - lapping up every sunset, rolling storm, ocean shimmer and summer like few can. Thank you, Pauline. Thank you very much.
