Make Bayside history with a home of rare provenance and remarkable design. Designed by legendary Modernist architect, Neil Clerehan, for an equally legendary family of journalists, this c.1973 home is an example of irreplaceable mid-Century architecture in impeccable condition. A natural entertainer with all Clerehan's key design elements on show, this three bedroom plus fitted home-office, 2.5 bathroom residence offers substantial single-level living graced with vast walls of north-facing Belgian glass, a spectacular centrepiece circular dining-room and streamlined joinery. Even fine original light-fittings, window and wall-furnishings are still in place. Designed for an entertaining lifestyle with a vast sunken formal lounge and a relaxed family zone beyond the prestige appliance kitchen, this sophisticated centrally-heated and reverse-cycle air-conditioned home maximises parental privacy with a well-zoned rear children's wing and a master-domain with walk-behind robe and a indoor-out ensuite wrapped by a cloistered garden. Beautifully functional with deep eaves allowing the ideal solar-passive aspect, huge skylights enhancing natural light and a wrought-iron entry adding to security, the home is set in perfectly-utilised gardens with a fully-tiled pool stretched out in north sun and a double garage extending the sleek Modernist façade. An equally easy walk to the bay, Sandringham House and Royal Ave parklands, with the village and station just a little further, this is an Australian architectural icon at an iconic Sandringham address.
