FIFTIES STYLE WITH MODERN APPEAL
Preserved in all its Mid-century glory and ready to entice a new family into its irresistible walls, ‘Atkins House’ - c1955 (as featured in Beaumaris Modern’s first edition) was the family home of renowned architect Ken Atkins - remaining in the family to this day.
Sure to get the mouths watering of those who love this period of architecture, it offers up an iconic beachside lifestyle amongst the established trees, with a substantial block of land and large in-ground pool complete with diving board setting a Palm Springs inspired scene for long lazy summer days.
Announcing its heritage with Hit & Miss brickwork, floor-to-ceiling glass and a layout that has been turned on its head with the main entertaining area upstairs, the home offers up to four bedrooms, two bathrooms and multiple living areas across the two levels.
Feature-packed highlights include the original hostess kitchen crowned by open web steel beams plus timber lined walls and a cute triangular telephone desk with views of the pool while outside there is an iron spiral staircase from the upstairs balcony down to a large poolside patio. A study, large laundry and workshop plus masses of storage are amongst a host of practicalities.
Dishing up the space for a modern family along with reams of exciting potential to bring the classic accommodation to life with some sympathetic modern enhancements, there is also the chance to extend into the deep garden and soak up some westerly sunshine (STCA).
A home that has truly seen Beaumaris flourish over the years, this rare opportunity is perfectly located within steps of both Beaumaris and Stella Maris primary schools, close to Banksia Reserve and moments to The Concourse shops, cafes & bars. Zoning for Beaumaris & Mentone Girls, secondary colleges is also offered, while it is also within an easy walk of the bay.
