The Brisbane home was designed by the famous local architects Hayes and Scott
The house has been well-maintained and still has many original 1970s-style features
‘The house was designed by prominent Brisbane architects Hayes & Scott,’ Ray White Clayfield agent Tony Cicchiello told Daily Mail Australia.
‘The house is very, very high quality … immaculate and totally and completely original.
‘The house is a cavity brick house, it has a distinctive Hayes & Scott’s signature with its chisel-shaped chimney. Lots of natural light and ventilation.’
The home’s other modernist features include floor to ceiling windows, skylights, silver ash ceilings, a fireplace and feature walls.
The interiors of the residence include Robert Dunlop furniture and a slanted roof
Modernist features remaining in the home include floor to ceiling glass and silver ash ceilings
Interiors include retro wallpaper, modernist lighting and a period kitchen.
The living, dining and kitchen areas are connected and lead to the study and three bedrooms.
There is also a separate master bedroom with an ensuite, a two car garage, balcony and paved courtyard.
Clayfield in Brisbane’s inner north is one of the city’s oldest suburbs and offers residents tree-lined streets in close proximity to the city and schools.
Mr Cicchiello said interested buyers have been diverse.
‘It has been a whole cross section of the community. Young people and even retired people have looked at it and shown interest,’ he said.
The sellers are hoping owner-occupiers will buy the house and maintain it, rather than knocking it down for multiple high-density dwellings.
The house has three bedrooms, including a master bedroom with an ensuite (not pictured)
