The ultimate conundrum; live in as is, develop or restore? A large parcel of land in a wonderful north facing rear position on Ilam Road close to Fendalton Village, is a rare and exciting find and this developers' dream has options to consider. An exceptional example of 1960s architectural design from 'Griffiths and Moffat' awaits its fate. Being sold 'As Is' and uninsured, the property is very liveable and has been a much-treasured home in the same family for the last forty years. But we expect builders and developers to take keen interest as there is the potential for at least three building sites, maybe more. However, this house is a collector's item! Sitting comfortably, sculptural-like, in an original landscape with a series of outdoor ponds, this architectural jewel has Japanese style simplicity, and like others of the era, is as content in this century as the last. Mid Century Modern is primarily known for connecting indoor and outdoor spaces and here open design has multiple views, and access, from floor to ceiling glass sliders to the outdoors, reminiscent of Japanese gardens. On the open market for the very first time, this simply must be viewed to be fully appreciated and understood. The kitchen, master bedroom and ensuite have been renovated to an Ingrid Geldof design, with a sympathetic approach, meaning a family could be immediately comfortable here. Significant trees, including a Weeping Elm and a Swamp Cyprus, both to the south of the property, create a majestic entrance without inhibiting sun and light. The tennis court and established garden areas that surround the house further add to its appeal. This location has the bonus of wonderful schooling choices including Fendalton, Cobham and the sought after CGHS, CBHS, and BHS. Whether your interest is in development or in architecture, we encourage you to view this exceptional property without delay. Property ID: #FE8036
