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.

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.
