What's around 202 Markham St

Craftsmanship, Care, and Contemporary features. A mid Century masterpiece.

- "New Luxury" for a Modern Era: spaciousness and light, craftmanship, natural materials, some energy efficiency, good design and layout, lots of storage, well linked to outside environment. - Built 1969 in the then cutting edge Mid-Century Modernist style [MCM], which was ahead of its time and translates well to modern tastes. - 4 bedrooms, [or fifth in rumpus room], two bathrooms, 3rd WC, 3 living areas, storeroom with mezzanine, double carport, north-facing roofed porch, garden shed, mature, easy care, mulched garden with a 224sqm house and 828sqm fenced block. - Concrete block walls, concrete slab, new, Kerrie Hawkins architect-designed gable roof replacing flat roof in 1996. - Main energy efficiency features: double concrete block walls for thermal mass. : fixed glass windows with airvents below for safe opening airflow. :Stramit ceilings made of thick compressed straw plus pink batts for thermal insulation. :long axis of the house and main living area faces north :trees for cooling in summer from low eastern and western sun - Ducted diesel oil heating and reverse cycle AC unit in main living area - Rosewood joinery throughout in windows, doors and cupboard facings and parquetry floors with kids bedrooms in cork. - Cabinetry and Kitchen in Tassie oak veneer designed and built by an ex-Chiswell furniture company designer, an icon of quality Australian MCM furniture design. - Pleasing proportions and craftmanship in built design with an apparently Japanese aesthetic. - The house is largely original with sympathetic updates, like 60cm SS stove, new basins, some double-glazed windows, for example. - For MCM aficianados, the history of the house from one of the original owners and ARC building file is available. - Some of the MCM furniture could be sold with the house. - About $32,000 spent since 2003 on sympathetic restoration and subtle updates, apart from maintenance costs.

Great negotiator

Selling was such a smooth and well resourced transition for us, the salesmanship, advertising and administration were excellent and the personnel pleasant in communication. Thanks to Keith for that engaging and inspiring video that gained 11,000+ views on Green Jelly's facebook page in a small town background of 26,000 people. Many thanks to Caleb for finding our buyer from this great base. Thanks to Ben for his meaningful and appealing Creative direction and wonderful and imaginative Photography. Thanks to Lauren for the well oiled wheels that make the whole endeavour efficient and peaceful. We particularly want to thank the team for their willingness to go the extra mile to engage with our enthusiasm and knowledge of our unusual mid-century house and to promote it.
