Stunning Athfield home with ocean views hits the market
Built by legendary architect Sir Ian Athfield, a stunning six-bedroom, three-bathroom home in Seatoun is up for sale.
After living in the home with her partner and two children for the past four years, vendor Laura Shaffer said they had decided to sell as they were moving back to the US to be closer to their family, and for work.
She said her family were initially attracted to the home for the views, location and sun.
Dr Shaffer said they had put a lot of effort into renovating the home and making it more modern and family friendly.
“We really focused on bringing the home back to life,” she said.
“When we bought it it felt tired, dated, and not maximised.
“There were places that felt uninviting because there had been no renovations since it was first built, so we’ve made the place modern and more usable.
“We definitely put our energy into making it more of a family home. When we first moved in, it didn’t feel suitable for families.
“So we’ve done things to make things safer and feel more family friendly including adding an extra bedroom and fencing in the backyard.
“I would say now it’s definitely a family home and everyone has a place to go to and have a space that’s their own.”
The property is for sale via tender closing at 2pm on November 18.
