SUMMARY
If these walls could talk, what a tale they'd tell
DESCRIPTION
Built at a time when the area was only reachable by steamer ferry to Mona Vale and a long buggy ride over rough bush tracks, this is one of Avalon's earliest homes. It's a splendid example of the 'organic' school of design and was inspired by the first owner's close friendship with renowned American architect Walter Burley Griffin. Each of its three previous owners have held the property close and chosen to revel in its extraordinary character and singular charm.
It's easy to understand the devotion; steeped in history, the interiors are pure Australia - this is a home that ignites the thrill of discovery with its leadlight windows, original timber floors and a grand room at its centre. A massive sandstone fireplace anchors the space, while the double-height ceiling with exposed beams creates a wonderful sense of scale and drama. It's been updated in the kitchen and bathrooms, yet even today you'll still have the option of a vintage, wood-burning stove in the kitchen, along with a modern gas range.
Interiors connect to a full-length deck on the ocean side and shady sandstone terraces in front; the master suite and second bedroom are located on the main floor with two roomy loft bedrooms above, each with ocean views. The ground level is an added bonus, it's a fully self-contained 2-bedroom apartment ready for renovations. Offering scope to finish off additional living and/or bedroom spaces. Set on a vast 1530sqm parcel and dotted with fruit trees amid native gardens, it's an easy stroll to either Bilgola or Avalon beaches and the village centre.
