Positioned to capture magnificent vistas from the Central Coast to Avalon's beachfront, 'Wallis Lodge' is a rare Arts & Craft masterwork on a spectacular double block. Built nearly a century ago, it is one of the finest examples of the architectural movement that we now understand as modernism; handcrafted, one stone at a time, the cottage is exquisite � it reveals perfect symmetry of form and function, while the overall impression is one of immense charm and undeniable beauty.
The Arts & Craft movement pioneered the concept of open plan living with organic integration to the surrounding landscape, and this home is a fine example of that tradition. Anchored by a massive stone fireplace, the fluid design of the floorplan and extensive glazing on three sides creates not only a visual connection, but a visceral one too � rooms feel suspended between indoors and out, while the entirety of the living space is dominated by the spectacular views.
Originally built as a two-bedroom weekender, the cottage has been sympathetically updated and enlarged to include a master ensuite, modern gas kitchen with timber benchtops, elegant family bathroom plus sun drenched terraces and decks. The home spans just one of the two titles, providing a superb opportunity for the new owners to sell the adjacent title, or build an additional dwelling in a world-class position (STCA). The parcels can be purchased in one line or separately; each will to be auctioned on Tuesday, November 19 at 6:00pm.
