The home that started it all in Craigbank Estate is at times like nothing we’ve ever seen and everything the world loves about 1970s design, making this bold and substantial architecturally conceived abode a true treasure.
Accentuated by its low-pitched roof and ultra-wide frontage, this solid-brick built, solar-powered 4-bedroom home demands attention -without boastfully saying ‘look at me’ – from its quiet no-through road in a family friendly estate.
Step inside an expansive entry foyer to see how every hand-laid brick creates warmth and texture to a home defined by its soaring raked ceilings and liberal use of western red cedar.
Designed to create better acoustics, that cedar protrudes from the ceiling like a work of art, hand crafted like the abundance of custom joinery found throughout this storage laden home.
The layout is a work of art too; using its ‘L’ shaped design to carve out an expansive central courtyard, while sending all four bedrooms to one side and the living zones to the other.
With private external access, kitchenette, a living/lounge zone, bedroom, lavish ensuite bathroom and a rear patio that watches the sun set over the ocean, the self-contained master wing opens up a world of possibilities. Did someone say ‘AirBnB’?
With room for two grand pianos, a cosy combustion fireplace, those acoustic ceilings and its very own solid timber bar, the lounge room will be a fam favourite in winter. Start a fire, pour a drink and say cheers to ‘Craigbank’.
