Some homes are memorable for their architecture. Others for their setting. Every so often, a property brings both together - with more than three decades of family life adding a story of its own.
Architecturally designed by renowned local architect John Chaplin and built in the 1980s, this distinctive Mount Pleasant residence is being offered to the market for the first time in more than 30 years.
Immaculately presented throughout, the home retains the distinctive character of its era, with strong mid-century influences, extensive timber, raked ceilings with exposed rafters, and a striking combination of board-and-batten and concrete block. A considered renovation in 2015 brought a fresh contemporary layer, including a beautifully appointed kitchen with induction cooktop, double ovens and generous bench space, together with updated bathrooms that complement the home's original character.
Positioned on the mid slopes of Mount Pleasant, the home captures attractive views across the estuary towards the ocean. Established gardens and a near level lawn create a surprisingly generous outdoor setting, with the main deck connecting effortlessly to the garden below - a lovely space for children and pets, summer entertaining or simply enjoying the surrounds.
Inside, two distinct living areas provide flexibility for everyday family life, entertaining and quiet retreat. Timber detailing and thoughtful architectural elements continue throughout, while a log burner and underfloor heating to the bathrooms and tiled kitchen area assist additional year-round comfort.
Four bedrooms and two bathrooms including a generous primary suite, where a walk-in wardrobe, window seat and heat pump add to both comfort and practicality. The renovated ensuite sits alongside a well-appointed family bathroom containing a feature bath and separate shower.
Practicality is equally well resolved, with a generous separate laundry, carpeted double internal-access garage with automatic door and additional off-street parking. Beneath the home, a substantial storage area provides space for a workshop and wood storage.
Set on 632sqm, this is a home with genuine individuality - architecturally distinctive, beautifully maintained and thoughtfully updated, while retaining the qualities that have made it such a special place to live.
After more than three decades in the same family, its next chapter is now ready to begin. Contact The Standevens for more information.
Auction: To be held from 4pm, Thursday 22nd October at Sumner Surf Life Saving Club (unless sold prior)
