Parnell Provenance. Architectural Pedigree
An impressive 1,200sqm landholding, generous family accommodation and an elevated, north-facing position overlooking Hobson Bay create a private sanctuary just moments from the city.
Adding to its appeal is exceptional architectural pedigree. Designed and built in 1980 by renowned architect Peter Sargisson as his own home, the property remains a remarkably authentic expression of his vision, with almost the entire original design intact.
The home
Sargisson's distinctive blend of Postmodernism, clean geometry and Mediterranean influences is evident throughout. A light-filled entrance atrium beneath a glazed roofline, mezzanine, vaulted ceilings and considered materials create a home rich in character, individuality and warmth.
Nestled amongst established planting, privacy, tranquillity and birdsong feel a world away from the city. Yet Parnell Village, excellent schooling, the Hobson Bay Walkway and CBD are all within easy reach, a rare balance of seclusion and connectivity.
Across approximately 336sqm, the versatile layout caters beautifully to family life. Four to five bedrooms, three bathrooms (including two ensuites), multiple living areas, a separate rumpus (plumbed for a kitchenette), mezzanine retreat, workshop and three-car internal-access garaging offer space for families to grow, gather and enjoy independence.
Significant refurbishment, including reclad with a copper-flashed cavity system, new bathrooms and an AEG-equipped kitchen opening seamlessly to an expansive north-facing entertainer's deck, brings contemporary comfort and year-round liveability, complemented by gas central heating. Meticulous maintenance, including carpet, curtains and internal and external painting, provides peace of mind while respecting the home's original character.
