The Multi award-winning architects Ray Hawthorne and John Creighton Builders have created something very special in the coveted setting of Clifford Avenue.

The house was a new postearthquake rebuild, so the owners worked as a team with architects Ray Hawthorn and John Creighton to combine classic design with modern material in a fabulous location which they loved.

This contemporary Ray Hawthorne designed residence marries endless comforts with traditional styling in an environment that promises first-class family living.

A grand entrance provides a striking first impression to this staggeringly spacious home, which covers approximate 329sqm of space across a single level.

Four generously sized bedrooms are superbly supported by a Jack-and-Jill toilet and family bathroom, while the substantial master is simply outstanding, comprising a luxuriously appointed ensuite with bath and walk-in wardrobe.

The Vicki Andrews Design kitchen is exceptionally stylish and socially orientated, sitting beneath the pitched ceiling within the expansive open plan living and dining area.

The owners worked closely, and had great fun, with Vicki Andrews who helped them to maximise the potential of the home while retaining the beauty of its classic lines.

Another two living spaces provide ultimate flexibility, with one featuring a built-in bookcase while the other could easily become a fifth bedroom if required.

The owners have enjoyed the detailing and cleverness of the joinery throughout the home, including the built-in cabinetry in the children’s rooms, hidden cupboards either side of the microwave and kick out drawer for the dog food bowls.

Numerous heating systems provide supremely comfortable living across all seasons, while practicality is highlighted by the separate laundry and carpeted triple car garage with attic storage and off-street parking.

The large, fully fenced, northfacing grounds were landscaped by Danny Kamo to provide a beautiful but low maintenance environment.

Extensive decking off the open-plan living area is complemented by a sheltered patio, an in-ground swimming pool and a cedar hot tub to provide you with various backdrops for summertime entertaining.

The address is a perennial favourite in Fendalton, situated a stroll from Mona Vale, a short drive to all the retail, hospitality and services of Fendalton and Merivale Malls, and with all the coveted in zone schooling and private schools.

As an undeniably hot property on an equally hot market, you will need to make your intentions loud and clear for this one.
