In the pursuit of independence and a deep love for the ocean, a young John Stewart set to work crafting this iconic Lennox Head landmark by hand. Now, nearly 70 years after the first footings were dug, the original home at 1 Lennox Street awaits its next adventure.
Constructed in c.1959, the home's unmissable 'primrose yellow' doors (a favourite colour of John's mother) have long been immortalised in many a holiday snap, standing as an ode to the vibrant summer days of the 50s. Occupying a prized corner position less than 30m to Seven Mile Beach, 1 Lennox Street stands as a rare reminder of a simpler coastal era where craftsmanship mattered, time moved slower, and homes were built to last.
Capturing ocean views and standing strong on its 493m2 block, the residence retains its authentic mid-century charm, offering a unique opportunity to preserve or totally reinvent this original piece of local history.
