Classic Mid-Century Don Donnithorne

In the pursuit of the classics and for lover's of the best of Mid-Century Architectural excellence. Don Donnithorne’s work exemplifies modernist architectural principles and demonstrates those elements of design such as exposed structural materials, particularly brick and timber. This is a man who designed 20 years ahead of his time with this family home being constructed in 1957 and a look more akin to the late 70’s era. The house is an exemplary example of his design and is undisturbed by its current owners of over 60 years. It retains all its original glory and has been meticulously maintained in its original, authentic condition. The property has been kept to the highest of standards in keeping with modern comfort, with updates such as full double glazing and the addition of a log burner. Comprised of a modest three-bedroom design well suited for sun on a large 893sqm (approx) freehold title. The design is a well-proportioned 120sqm (approx) dwelling with stunning indoor-outdoor flow which is a main stay of this period design. A large separate studio room is accessible just metres from the back of the house with a large two car garage incorporated on the other side of the studio. The property is surrounded by mature plantings with excellent privacey. Zoned for Burnside High and Primary just a 4-minute walk from the property as well as Cobham Intermediate and Jellie Park. This home was commissioned during an architectural competition with the winning submission of course being Don Donnithorne and now established as a notable home for the area. This is genuinely for sale by sincere owners who have loved and cherished this piece of history. It is affordable and on offer to all that have an appreciation of the classics by way of public Auction.
