Masterfully renovated and cleverly curated, this is the benchmark in bayside mid-Century Modern design. A superior example of the era from leading Modernist architects, W Mason this c.1969 home showcases a purists' renovation with the original U-shaped design in place, perfectly-restored vintage fittings, and a well-curated selection of today's best finishes. Maximising sun with an innovative solar-passive design around a north-facing water-feature courtyard, this exceptional home's original four bedroom, two bathroom floorplan now offers three versatile living zones - with lounge and dining, family-living and a true rumpus-room (or huge fourth bedroom-retreat) all still set around the central courtyard... and all still cleverly divided by original concertina doors. Updated with a state-of-the-art stone-benchtop kitchen starring elite Miele and Falcon appliances and a walk-in pantry, the home seamlessly integrates old and new with a mint-condition bathroom and vast separate-facility ensuite - both featuring pristine mosaic tiles, original cabinetry...even sparkling vintage towel rings! In this grand design, deep shiplap cedar-lined eaves manage summer shade and winter sun, well-fitted robes include 'his and hers' walk-ins, and new high-gloss jarrah parquetry, a bespoke security and minimalist joinery echo the vintage colour schemes. Set in creatively landscaped irrigated grounds with an over-sized double carport to the front, storage-garage to the rear and a fruitful kitchen garden linking the two, this centrally heated and reverse-cycle air-conditioned home is even located for the perfect blend of modern life and Modernist living. Situated in the highly-sought low-traffic crescent of the mid-Century Hoystead stables sub-division, this masterpiece home has Mentone's shopping village and station within 500m, the bay within a stroll and future-forward zoning for both Mentone Girls College and new Beaumaris Secondary College.
