This modernist two-story structure, which dates to the ’60s, has been thoughtfully extended and upgraded in recent years. It now offers a bright and spacious living space within a beautifully landscaped plot.

The circular frame of the internal staircase is a prominent feature that can be seen from the outside and it certainly sets the stage for what lies within.

Step inside and you’ll see that every space has been meticulously crafted showcasing blonde solid wide plank oak flooring throughout, which enhances the light throughout.

An impressive atrium in the main hall floods the space with natural light, while sliding doors open to the garden from the main reception areas, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.

50 Sydney Parade Avenue offers a well-designed layout with generous spaces that include a reception room that mixes dining with lounging. The space has plenty of custom cabinetry and an open fire adds more cosiness.

The kitchen is impressively large and has a central island, Corian countertops and top-tier appliances included. For anyone working from home, the den/home office is the perfect spot to set up. And it could be easily used as a more informal living room, too.

Off the kitchen lies a utility room and airing cupboard – two practical spaces catering to everyday needs and streamlining chores.
