Size up your expectations with vast land, vintage design and the perfect vantage point to expand your view. Designed c.1952 by renowned architect, James Earle, this five-bedroom plus home-office, 2.5 bathroom home perfectly utilises its elevated approx. 800sqm site with a substantial two-storey, split-level plan offering vast treetop views (including winter bay-glimpses) and potential to step up to a 180° bay panorama at rooftop-level.
Built to one of the most substantial scale of the day, this mid-century grand design centres on irreplaceable suspended-slab construction; stepping down to a classic rumpus room with lower-garden spa-deck ...and stepping up to balconied 3m-ceilinged living-dining alongside a glossy granite kitchen with window-walled meals area. Cleverly zoned with robe-fitted, fan-cooled double bedrooms, a stylish designer bathroom and an open-plan home-office at entry level, there’s scope for self-contained accommodation (with a big bathroom and flexible laundry) alongside the rumpus room and two-car parking in a sheltered space out front.
Climate-controlled by multiple reverse-cycle air-conditioners plus ducted heating, the home retains the greatest design elements of its time, including a Jetmaster-style fireplace fronted by a crazy-stone mantle, solid hardwood floors, classic steel balustrades, and walls of windows at every turn. Representing an unrivalled opportunity to secure your place at this blue-chip beachside address, there's all the architectural style of yesterday, all the comforts of today and all the land you could need for a big future.
Located for the best of beachside, Bayside lifestyle within a walk of Donald Macdonald Reserve, this elevated location is high on amenity within minutes of the Concourse and Black Rock village, a walk to the bay and Beaumaris Secondary College, minutes to Sandbelt golf courses, and close to the bus to the Mentone and Brighton private schools, live comfortably now or take up the potential to add value, maybe even consider development options with the wider frontage and larger land.
