If you're seeking an architect designed home with an unsullied 70s vibe and a view to die for, this one will get your heart thumping!

Designed in 1968 and lived in by the architect himself and his family since 1971, this rare Modernist classic is looking for new custodians. It's stunning, solid and splendid, and the views are some of the biggest and best you'll see in our area. So slip on your kaftan, dig out your flares, get in the groove and come and take a look...

There's a lot to see and take in, so we'll let the architecture (and view!) do the talking. Inside, the house reveals itself slowly but it's all here and laid out in one of the most user-friendly floorplans we've seen. Click by click, you can sense the incredible use of space and materials. Fitting neatly into the Environmental Architecture movement of the time, it offers a wealth of classic features including original timber wall paneling, full-height glazing, handmade ceramic tiles, solid timber joinery, shag carpet and pendant lighting. In addition, it's positioned adjacent to Stapleton Reserve and takes full advantage of this magnificent natural showcase and the perfect privacy, that naturally comes with this position.

The various split level living areas with double height ceilings and walls of glass are all artfully arranged around a perfect north-east aspect and a view that extends across Pittwater to Mackerel Beach and beyond - on one side - and all the way to the Pacific Ocean on the other.

With magnificent, original timber surfaces, exposed brick, split levels and splashes of tiles, this home is sensationally intact. It fully deserves to remain so and requires only minimal and sympathetic renovation to cater for today's families and technology - but this is beautifully maintained and lovingly lived in.

In addition to the inside living areas, there's large bedrooms and generous bathrooms and multiple outdoor viewing decks, all set to make the most of the aspect and view. Although much of the block slopes into bushland, it is set on more than 1600sqm...and depending on your energy or finances, there's scope for terracing or even a pool..!

There's an attached double carport, and various off-street parking options. And - genius - in the carport there's also a separate shower room, a 'gardeners' loo and a workshop.

And it's all only a 5 minute drive to Avalon Village shops, the beach and express city transport.
