18 Sunset Avenue Beaumaris

Designed by renowned local architect John Baird for its current owner in 1965, this notable example of mid-century architecture is being offered for the first time since new. Inspired by the modern projects of the era, the family commissioned Baird to craft a home that seamlessly connected to its natural surroundings, optimising its desirable northerly orientation and establishing itself as a truly Avant Garde statement in design that has effortlessly withstood the test of time.

Flaunting ceiling-height windows that capture lush leafy vistas plus rich Queensland Maple joinery alongside feature brickwork, there is a real continuity in the design elements that star throughout the home’s fluid floorplan. Showcasing the original vibrant carpet in the combined living/dining zone which is adjacent a stone-topped kitchen complete with breakfast bar, the accommodation also includes a family room which opens to a central courtyard.

Three well-sized bedrooms including an ensuite master are also provided, in addition to a family bathroom plus laundry with outdoor access. Innovative when installed, the original under-floor heating provides a cosy ambience boosted by a wood-burner heater, whilst split system heating/cooling and carport parking are all offered.

On approximately 665m2 of premium Beaumaris land, there is the option to sympathetically update and bring to life existing extension plans drawn by John Baird’s practice in the 1980s.

The very embodiment of Beaumaris’ creative spirit, this unique property is within the sought-after Beaumaris Secondary College zone, an easy walk to primary schools and The Concourse and just moments to the sparkling bay.
