93 Hawthornden Road, Avonhead
*SOLD* Bailey House – Irish/Kiwi Modernism
In the early 1960’s, Irish Architect John Bailey came to New Zealand with his young family to begin work at the New Zealand Public Works Department, The Ministry of Works. As John Bailey and his counterparts shaped the nation, he also needed to build a home to accommodate his family.
There was just a small allotment of houses on Hawthornden Road in the early 1960’s with farmland prevailing. Still to this day there is a semi-rural feel in the area. The strong, sweeping form would have been quite the statement at the time, accentuated by the raw aggregate of the Summerhill Stone and large windows.
This is still a one owner home, and this shows in the immaculate condition.
The home includes:
• Emphasis on arrival with lobby entrance
• Timber lined ceiling through the living that includes gas fire
• Open plan dining with French doors to planted courtyard
• Original kitchen with the most pristine stainless bench & louvre windows
• 3 double bedrooms + nursery/ office
• 2 bathrooms in original but tidy condition
• Separate laundry
• Mature garden setting surrounding the home
• Double garage & single garage + covered off-street parking
• Burnside High & Merrin school zones
Something special is available here; a unique, bonified mid-century home, rooted in modernism and held by only one owner. If you have a love for design but not an endless budget, I suggest you make the time to view.
Deadline Sale: All offers on or before 4pm Thursday 16th March (unless sold prior)
