A Modern Marvel

Dubbed ‘The Walker House’, after its owner Property Developer Greg Walker, this famous architectural masterpiece is for sale for over $10 million.

Walker designed and built the home five years ago and took particular inspiration from the Richard Neutra-style, which is typified by simple lines and flat roofs. The homes characteristically use concrete and glass, and both complement and contrast their environment.

The Walker House home is situated on a northern escarpment with breathtaking views of the sparkling blue waters of Pittwater. Spread over five levels, the home is spined by a stunning length of Travatine which runs through the centre of the building, organically dividing formal and informal living spaces.

It includes five living spaces, library with a concealed plasma television, five bedrooms, four bathrooms, five living spaces, a 20 metre lap pool and parking for four cars.

Currumbin Valley's finest

Currumbin Valley’s finest creek estate, named ‘Sarah-Jac’, has come on the market for $3.95 million.
 
The country estate was built in 1998 for Australian V8 Supercar driver, Paul Weel, and is located on over two hectares of lush farmland and bordered by the Currumbin Creek.

The estate consists of an elegant single level main house connected by a raised walkway to an expansive American style, two-storey barn that still bears the attributes of car racing fever in the basement garage.

The current owners, Mark and Cath Priest, purchased the home in 2007 for its quiet, private country location whilst only minutes to world renowned surf beaches, along with the capacity to accommodate their teenagers and friends.

Agent Carol Carter says, “I have received a great deal of interest so far not only due to the calibre and idyllic location of the property, but this estate is also offered with 2 separate titles of creek frontage, one of which includes a garden cottage”.

The main residence exudes timeless elegance with soaring 12 foot ceilings, expansive French doors, French sash windows and polished brushed box timber floors reminiscent of craftsmen from generations past. It includes an grand entrance foyer, formal dining and living areas, a master bedroom retreat with a huge modern en-suite, three additional bedrooms, and family bathroom and powder room. It also boasts a custom kitchen with walk-in cool room, dumb waiter and stainless steel appliances.

In addition to the main house, the property includes an American style barn with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, large entertaining rooms, office, store room, and a garage.

Carol Carter also said “The clever architectural layout of the elegant main house and the separate accommodation provides the perfect large family home, or indeed could easily realise someone's dream as doubling as a business”.

Outside, the grounds feature manicured gardens, a swimming pool, prestine lawns, citrus orchard, grapevines, olive and pecan trees, and a chicken coop.
