Best Offers By Monday 23rd June 2025 at 10am (unless sold prior)

With an exclusive position on prestigious and tightly held Dutton Terrace, this c.1986 architectural masterpiece is a triumph of timeless modern style. Conceived by renowned architect Ian Barwick, its highly considered design and construction are of the highest quality, cleverly emphasising light, space, privacy and outdoor connection.

With some minor alterations over time, the home's unique footprint and innovative interior have stood the test of time and remain largely untouched, providing exciting scope to enhance and upgrade if so desired.

ENTRANCE AND DESIGN 
Privately and securely nestled on prime Medindie land approximating 950sqm, the house is barely visible from the street. The driveway sweeps past beds of fragrant roses and clipped hedges towards the double garage and discreet walled frontage with a wrought iron gated portico entrance.

Once inside, one is cocooned in a private and peaceful sanctuary. Wrapped around a central atrium courtyard, the highly versatile interior comprises four interconnected wings of spacious functionality bathed in light from all angles. Throughout, exposed brick, lofty raked timber ceilings and walls of glass that blur the boundary between elegant indoor and outdoor living.

FRONT WING: VERSATILE FORMAL LIVING 
The slate floored entrance is flanked by two flexible reception/living spaces. To one side, an elegant formal dining room sits in close proximity to the kitchen.

To the other, a spacious light filled formal living room or study with a high raked timber ceiling, track lighting and feature brick fireplace.

WEST WING: OPEN PLAN LIVING 
Incorporating meals, lounge area and a kitchen with a superb custom designed wrap-around counter, this beautifully designed space boasts a long gallery of full-length windows and sliders that overlook and open out to the central outdoor atrium. 

Beyond, a powder room for guests, plus a huge bright laundry room that opens to the rear garden, concealed drying yard and utility area. 

SOUTH WING: LIVING AND BEDROOMS
Central to this wing is a chic sundrenched living room that connects through north facing sliders to the atrium on one side, and the picturesque rear lawn and garden to the other.

A passage connects versatile family accommodation comprising three bedrooms and a generously proportioned bathroom that includes a bidet, bath and heated towel rail.

EAST WING: PRIMARY SUITE
Forming its own wing is the beautifully appointed primary suite with a resort style vibe. 
The bedroom boasts a soaring cathedral ceiling and sliding doors that spill through to the central courtyard. 

A hall of mirrors reflects a double vanity glam zone, conceals a walk-in robe, and reaches to the indulgent ensuite that includes a bidet, bath and its own sauna room.
Above, a large attic room accessed by a retractable ladder has potential to be used as a home office or studio.

CENTRAL ATRIUM 
At the heart of this truly sensational home is the central atrium cleverly designed to connect all four wings and provide a vast space in which to entertain and relax.

Sitting beneath a towering gabled cathedral roof, this magnificent paved outdoor room takes full advantage of northerly sunshine and is big enough to accommodate outdoor dining, living and entertaining on a large scale.
