1930s Avalon cottage designed by one of Australias most prominent architects of the time, Harry Ruskin Rowe. Original home underwent a complete renovation and extension in 2006 to create a virtually new, uncompromising, family residence. The house is ideally located on a level 891m block within 500 metres of Avalon village, taking full advantage of its North-East facing position with large open plan living areas and deep covered verandahs overlooking the rear garden and swimming pool. The 12 metre lap pool has been finished with glass mosaic tiles, sandstone surround and frameless glass fencing. The rear garden also houses a self-contained, council approved, two storey studio with its own kitchen, bathroom and a private bedroom on a mezzanine style first floor.
The house itself is centred around the main living area and its, original, 8 foot wide sandstone fireplace, the chimney rising to the top of the 6 metre high vaulted ceiling. Off the entrance area is a study/office, guest toilet and separate library/music room. The lounge is equipped with a discrete automatic drop down home cinema screen and integrated Bose surround sound theatre system. The dining area, family room and kitchen all open onto the undercover outdoor deck via floor to ceiling glass bi-fold and sliding doors. The master bedroom and ensuite are also on the ground floor and there is a walk-in pantry and large utility/laundry room that adjoins the kitchen. The first floor has a mezzanine overlooking the living area and serves as the connection between the 3 upstairs bedrooms and bathroom whilst also providing an excellent childrens play area.
The gardens have been tastefully landscaped with structured pathways, edged lawns, hedges and mature trees. It is a pleasure to bring such an inspiring property to market, one that will delight all who inspect.
