A dynamic mix of great contemporary design and iconic mid-Century architecture is just the first surprise here. Set on around 710 sqm on the beachside of the private school circuit, this 1960s Graeme Gunn designed home extends beyond a discreet auto-gated facade to offer surprisingly vast five bedroom, three bathroom accommodation within an expertly contemporised two-storey floorplan. Renovated with respect for the full height north-facing windows, soaring cathedral ceilings and lofty open-plan spaces that characterise the best homes of the era, this innovative Modernist design now features a state-of-the-art European appliance kitchen with top-range CaesarStone benchtops, slickly upgraded bathrooms (including a designer ensuite and main spa-bathroom) and luxe finishes including wideboard European Oak floors, plush "party-proof" carpets, granite benchtops, sculptural ceiling fans and Clipsal glass switches. Appointed with a high-technology ADT alarm and automation system, video-intercom entry, this centrally heated and air-conditioned home is set in auto-watered landscaped grounds with three-car parking including sheltered and carport spaces. But it's the living spaces that best combine modern life and great Modernist design - with lounge and dining areas separated by a central fireplace in a window-walled formal zone, expansive living/dining catching afternoon sun across a lawned back garden and great outdoors including a paved entertaining area and a deep balcony-terrace. Less than 500m from the Golden Mile beachfront, with Firbank and Brighton Grammar within a last minute dash and a Bossy Boots' latte within one block, this is a mid-Century classic in the location of a lifetime.
