This new release represents one of the hottest items in real estate - an original, bespoke modern contemporary home that hasn't been tampered with since it was built 40 years ago. With timber lined raked ceilings, natural timber joinery and window frames and a host of other purist features synonymous with modern contemporary homes built in the late seventies and early eighties, this 1981 Burnside home is a rare find as it is an unblemished example of that highly sought after style that broke away from traditional architecture of the time. It offers a sensational lifestyle in a top location close to public transport, shops, local parks and zoned for Burnside Primary School and within walking distance of St. Peter's Girls School.Immediately enjoyable and sitting on a 613sqm approx allotment with an 18m approx frontage, this could be just the project for you as it is packed with potential to create a retro modern masterpiece. As you arrive at the front door, adjacent to a side by side carport under the main roof, the entrance details hints at what is inside.The eaves of the porch are lined with beautiful timber - looking as good as it did when the house was completed in 1981. Once inside, a floor to ceiling wall of glass and natural timber separates the tiled entrance foyer from a lofty living room with exposed bricks, an open fireplace with a reverse flue that warms the dining room and a massively high, raked ceiling lined in the same timber as the entrance area which includes a wall of timber storage cupboards.The owner, a retired architect, was first drawn to the property because of its purist style and key architectural features of the genre. The kitchen, for example, which is in perfect original condition includes natural timber joinery throughout that has never been replaced and a timber lined ceiling.The living room and kitchen open into a north facing sun drenched room - a very cool inclusion in house design in the eighties that has glass on two sides which provide borrowed views overlooking mature trees that line Second Creek a couple of houses away.This sunny room also has a timber lined raked ceiling and is used by the current owner as a casual dining room. It opens onto an alfresco balcony that is shaded by a magnificent Kurrajong tree that is growing through the deck and is partially protected by the elements by a high raked verandah.Doors from the deck lead back into the main bedroom and second bedroom which each have walls of glass to bring the natural sunlight and treescapes inside and soaring raked ceilings that provide a wonderful sense of space.The main bedroom also includes a walk-in robe and the second bedroom has a wall of wardrobes. Both bedrooms are off the main passage opposite the bathroom and close to the laundry where the original timber joinery cupboards provide additional useful storage.At the rear of the property a separate workshop, ideal for a home office, artists retreat or music room, needs a little TLC and probably a new carpet and paint job but its north facing treescape views make any effort required to bring it up to scratch worthwhile!The property ha ducted reverse cycle airconditioning as well as a split system airconditioner to enhance year round comfort..$750,000 - $820,000OFFER FORM LINKhttps://forms.gle/g54CrMzmyN387SzA8CT: 5100/242Council: BurnsideCouncil Rates: $1,488.95pa (approx)Water Rates: $203.98pq (approx)We welcome you to contact Chrissy Esau to arrange a private viewing.
