Overview

A Mid-Century Modern Masterpiece set on 1025sqm approx.

A superb mid-century showpiece, Murphy House originally owned by John and Joy Murphy, both creatives, and designed and built by John himself - a highly regarded builder. Set on 1025sqm with a 18.8m frontage and north facing rear this home was conceived as a place where art, family, and the surrounding landscape converge, the home remains as inspiring today as the day it was first imagined. Embodying Modernist ideals - soaring ceilings, clean lines, generous proportions, and a seamless connection to the beautiful outdoors - this double-brick, split-level home with a flat roof and signature mustard-hued entrance captures the elegance and essence of the era. A series of terraces surround the home, from leafy nooks offering quiet respite to larger areas for entertaining, where privacy is absolute and the sense of escape is undeniable. Ceiling heights of up to 3.5 metres and expansive glazing enhance the sense of space and light. The lounge and dining areas are illuminated by a spectacular floor-to-ceiling picture window, framing lush garden vistas, while an open fireplace adds warmth and character. A door opens to the northern terrace, extending the living environment into the tranquil rear grounds. The galley kitchen, with stainless steel benches, breakfast bar, quality appliances, integrated laundry, and abundant storage, opens to the eastern garden as well as the northern terrace, making the garden an inseparable part of daily life. Three generous fitted bedrooms include a sizeable master suite enjoying a wall of robes and a calm garden outlook. All three bedrooms are well served by three bathrooms, ensuring comfort and practicality. A light-filled reading nook and study space provide additional family space, while a front living and meals area with its own kitchen opens to another garden courtyard - versatile enough to function as a fourth bedroom, or a space for independent living, ideal for adult children or multigenerational arrangements. Additional features include right of way access from the neighbour driveway, ducted heating, split system air conditioners in both living zones, a separate WC, and a single carport with storage cupboards. Remaining in the Murphy family to this day, this iconic 1950s sanctuary presents a rare chance to secure a celebrated piece of Beaumaris history, with Donald MacDonald Reserve across the road, the beach close by, transport at the door, and schools within effortless reach.
