Designed and built for the current owner by renowned 20th century architect Bruce Rickard, this exceptional waterfront residence is a stunning example of his signature style. Known as 'Organic Modernism' and heavily influenced by his studies of Frank Lloyd Wright in Pennsylvania, the practice seeks to fully integrate the architecture into the surrounding landscape. Exposed timber trusses and original joinery create the frame, while seamless corner glazing and heavy cedar sliders beautifully connect this home to its environment. It feels like a simple design that's finished with exquisite craftsmanship and an innovative, modern aesthetic. The home is constructed with double brick and concrete; it enjoys a northern exposure just above the shoreline. This property will appeal to fans of modernist architecture, bird lovers, plant lovers and those wanting to escape the city and work from home in tranquil waterfront surroundings. As a superb family home, it's on the market for the first time and offers so much more than a valuable piece of architectural history; quite literally, it is one of a kind. - Set on a 1239 sqm parcel fronting Clareville Beach - Cantilevered over the lush landscaped terraced gardens - Extensive glazing frames the views - Exposed beams, brick fireplace, enormous north facing terrace - Custom designed kitchen with stainless benchtops, bespoke joinery - Striking master bedroom with intimate water views - Separate home office on lower level with spectacular Pittwater views - Extra guest powder room, tandem carport plus ample off-street parking
