Once the family home of John Baird himself, now thoughtfully renovated and extended utilising his renowned principles complemented by the modern functionality demanded of today, ‘Baird House’ is a contemporary home with a truly Mid-Century Modern soul. Set on a leafy north-facing block, floor-to-ceiling glass and highlight windows ensure an irresistible connection with the tranquil surroundings, together with the raked roofline enhancing the sense of space and maximising natural light. The finishes both inside and out have been inspired by the c1958 origins, from the timber cladding and external colour palette to the richly-toned tiles, porcelain terrazzo and carefully replicated joinery, there is so much to love throughout the spacious accommodation. Looking out across the seemingly floating front verandah, a formal lounge/dining zone features an inviting gas fireplace while set to the rear, the open plan family and meals area takes in views of the alfresco deck and the lawned garden. Connecting the two is the glorious kitchen with shadow-line stone benchtops, premium appliances (induction cooktop) and masses of storage all enhanced by an eye-catching yellow tiled splashback. Parents will love to escape to the king-sized master retreat boasting a massive walk-in robe and luxurious ensuite with bath, wet-room style shower and vintage inspired vanity - three further bedrooms are also offered all with built-in wardrobing and sharing a central bathroom. The practicality continues with a well-planned laundry and storage throughout, while multiple split systems & ducted heating plus a workshop/shed, carport and cubby are all offered. Only a visit will uncover the depth of the attention to detail within this stunning home that enjoys a perfect location on the most neighbourly of streets. Just moments to quality schooling including the zoned Beaumaris Secondary College, close to bus stops and The Concourse shops & cafes and an easy trip down to the beach.
