50's Modernist Classic
First time ever on the market since it was built 60 years ago. Designed for the site by influential architect Anthony Treadwell and enjoying dazzling views from inner to outer harbour, over mountains and eastern suburbs. A vintage treasure built ahead of its time, this light, warm and airy home has been owned and well-loved by one family and retains its original character with polished floors and rimu woodwork.
The entrance hall opens out into the spectacular open plan living/dining room - full-length windows embrace the dramatic views, the high stud and original matai flooring add to the feeling of space. Watch the surf and the harbour entrance by day, enjoy a sparkling carpet of lights by night. The dining area leads onto the kitchen - with the original retro cabinetry plus a new oven.
Three bedrooms, bathroom and separate wc are half a floor up. Newly carpeted on this level, two of the bedrooms have the original spacious built-in wardrobes, and you can wake up to that view in the master bedroom.
Set in a mature garden, with numerous plantings of native and exotic trees, there's a bonus, breathtaking view of Lyall Bay and Cook Strait from the back garden. Spacious tool shed, workroom, man cave or handy storage also outside. Close to the beaches and Southern Walkway, shops and schools, and with easy access at the top end of a zig-zag off Hornsey Road. A very special home to enjoy now but also offering great scope for a new owner to add their own touches in time.
