In this highly desired location this incredible Ruskin Rowe, Elmes and Slatter' designed home epitomises single level luxury.
This sprawling double brick home sits on 2,095sqm creating a private compound for you and your family in the heart of Thirroul, evoking memories of the 1970s.
The sprawling floor plan begins at the entrance with beautifully curved walls that takes you through open plan spaces and the well laid out bedroom wing, constantly changing roof-lines.
Eventually you arrive at the spectacular suspended gas copper fireplace in the second living area that will be the hub of all your entertaining and family moments.
All this creates a space that definitively represents a peak moment in 70s architecture.
Built in 1975, the double brick home has immaculate original features such as designer pelmet lighting and parquetry flooring.
The beautifully unique and warm home will appeal to those who appreciate design and think a little bit differently.
A central turret, sunken lounge, separate dining room with floor to ceiling windows and a kitchen containing a Viking professional stove with gas cooking is just the start.
With five bedrooms, the main bedroom has an ensuite with vintage Italian pink marble.
There is a split system air-conditioning, wine cellar, double garage and laundry/mudroom plus a well-laid out garden with plenty of space for the whole family.
