Aficionados of mid-century modernism will recognise the clean lines and expertly balanced proportions showcased in the main home, designed by acclaimed European-born architect Stanislaw Penski in the 60’s, and reimagined in the early 2000’s by architect Jennifer Cook for the current owners introducing an aesthetic that was mindful of the dwelling’s definitive DNA. It is a rare example of streamlined style in an area where character homes predominate. Its elongated form stretches elegantly across the site with floor-to-ceiling windows on the upper-level welcoming an abundance of light and an ever-present connection with its lush gardens and the neighbourhood beyond, with views to North Head, Mount Victoria, the ocean and Rangitoto.

There are three bedrooms, an office and two bathrooms on the top floor of the family home, including the spacious master retreat with its own sitting room, ensuite and outdoor balcony area. Downstairs offers another lounge, bedroom and bathroom – the perfect teenage hangout or guest retreat. The apartment and the studio are also on the ground floor, and both have their own private entrances and outdoor living space.

Superbly located on the corner of a quiet cul-se-sac, the home’s well-established landscaped gardens frame and soften its horizontal structure, providing privacy without the need for fencing. The owners call this much-loved neighbourhood, close to amazing beaches, the maunga, the golf course and Devonport village, their ‘playground'.

This mid-century designed home, with options galore, is the ultimate machine for living and earning.
