ABOUT

Architecturally designed, meticulously crafted, and lovingly maintained by the same iconic family since 1965, this dual-level late-50s Mid Century Modern residence is a light-letting masterpiece amidst some of Beaumaris' finest.

Nestled within an enchanting garden setting of towering palms, generation-old Liquidambar, and a spectacular display of fernery, this classic, five-bedroom family heirloom utilises floor-to-ceiling glazing, custom-built natural timber surfaces and glorious outlooks to create a home that is warm, welcoming and utterly unforgettable.

A story-teller of its time, the home's interior introduces memories of lavish entertaining and family enjoyment, where the formal living spills out beyond Japanese-inspired sliding screens to a paved patio shrouded in dappled light. Wonderfully uplifting, the adjacent formal dining area enjoys separation from the well-appointed kitchen spaces for traditional gatherings, whilst the sunroom takes in a nostalgic and relaxed ambience with its stunning sun-filled garden aspect. Meanwhile, a separate casual living room respects 1960s chic with tiled flooring and floor-to-ceiling windows while offering scope as a home office.

The main bedroom enjoys the morning light from a private balcony and the ease of walk-in robes, while the remaining four bedrooms are each fitted with built-in robes, served by two impeccable bathrooms. Importantly, the home also features a large three-car remote garage (or a double with a secure workshop), driveway parking for up to four additional vehicles, a Euro laundry, ducted heating and AC, and volumes of storage both inside and out.

Sitting directly opposite Beaumaris Secondary College and steps from The Concourse, this blue-ribbon location sets the scene for an exceptional new chapter for this wonderful family home, loved by the Yuncken family (of Yuncken-Freeman Architects) for almost 60 years and positioned within a secure environment of 694sqm (approx).
