Live your modern low-maintenance lifestyle with the great Modernist style of this sun-filled c.1975 villa-unit. Centred at the heart of a boutique group designed by a modernist architect, this innovative two bedroom home maximises all-day sun with a soaring design that faces towering vaulted ceilinged-living towards the northerly courtyard, adds a clerestory window to the bright bathroom, and shines with tall windows at every turn. Plus, it’s only ever been held by one family!

This bold brick home is a showcase of the best design elements of the era with large robe-fitted bedrooms and a clever bathroom design providing a separate WC. Up-styled with stainless-steel Bosch appliances (including dishwasher) for the monochromatic kitchen, and stylish fittings for the light-filled bathroom, this centrally heated and reverse-cycle air-conditioned home has a sculptural designer fan under the towering roofline of living, and retractable fan-lights for each bedroom.

Wrapped by sun-filled gardens with space to entertain, an area to relax and direct entry to an easy-access garage from the group's wide driveway, this modern marvel is located for the best of beachside lifestyle within three blocks of Hampton St’s latte strip and station, a walk to the bay and primary school, and 28 minutes by rail to the CBD.
