1965 MID CENTURY ICON & GARDEN STUDIO
AN INDOOR/OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE HOME
ON 1060SQM LUSH TROPICAL SURROUNDS
THE LOCATION
Located in “The Bold Park Quarter” one of Central City Beach's best precincts, where the secondary ridge of coastal dunes extends out from Bold Park and deep into the suburb bringing with them the mature Tuart groves and exciting undulating coastal topography which are such a feature of the virgin bushlands adjacent. If you are a fan of the huge land parcels and tall tree canopies for which this precinct is known, then this large, level, wooded site on the corner of Takari Crescent and footsteps to the gorgeous City Beach Primary School will not disappoint.
THE HOME
Be the custodian of a timeless mid-century classic. Marvel at the endless sense of space and privacy from this mammoth 1060sqm corner Central City Beach allotment. Enjoy the good life with its contemporary modern renovations, alfresco living, and tranquil pool. Walk the kids to school in a heartbeat. Feel invigorated by the jungle inspired tropical garden surrounds. A very special home.
Fall in love, unwind, and enjoy! This is a rare remaining example of the wonderful mid-century architectural homes that once typified the West of Forum Floreat and Central City Beach regions. Internally and externally renovated, it offers a wonderful contemporary living space and an irreplaceable element of nostalgia and ever-increasing design rarity.
In an early aerial photo that used to hang in the foyer of the City Beach Primary School (Built 1956), this is the only home in the precinct. A bold new architectural design perched in the scrub, banking on the promise of this exciting new modernist seaside resort suburb still in its infancy. Fast forward 60 years and the vision paid off. Whilst its contemporaries have come and gone, the home has stood the test of time and still stands in the heart of what is now one of Perth's most central and sought-after beach enclaves, still only seconds stroll to that very same little primary school which is today so highly regarded.
Indoors flow effortlessly to outdoors in this calming architect designed home with contemporary interiors nestled amongst a 1060sqm oasis of timber decking, trickling water features and lush tropical landscaping.
Features; Limestone facade, with rich warm hardwood flooring, striking modern kitchen and laundry, undercover alfresco and timber decked pool area, 4 bedrooms, an office, a library, 3 bathrooms, and separate living areas. Additionally, there is a fully self-contained 1x1 apartment with its own access in the back corner of the garden (Perfect for guests or even an au pair). There is a double lock up garage, store, side access for boat or caravan and reticulation off own bore, huge storage space throughout and all downstairs windows are laminated glass.
A wonderful opportunity for those who understand the interplay between rare design, harmonious living, and investment growth; minor finishing touches in tune with the homes historical roots could elevate the homes presence and cement its profile as a true poster child of the exciting era in which it was conceived.
THE OPPORTUNITY
