20 Campbell Drive

Wahroonga NSW 2076

This striking modernist design by Ken Woolley AM offers a rare opportunity to own a home that combines clean modernist architecture with an ideal floor plan. Approaching the house, one is struck by the timeless, simple elegance of the design - a modernist cube protected by a wide overhanging roof, allowing for winter sun and protecting from the summer sun. The bold simplicity of the fa ade belies the spacious, light-filled home that lies beyond the front door. The house is set below street level on Campbell Drive on a 1, 619 sq m block and enjoys almost complete privacy with mature landscaping. Built circa 1967, 20 Campbell Drive is quite literally straight from the pages of Home Beautiful. Soon after the first example of the design was built, the design featured in a four page editorial in Home Beautiful. The MkV design was the most highly aspirational Pettit+Sevitt design. Being the largest and most expensive design meant only a handful were ever built. Recognised for its architectural rarity the MkV model accounts for less than half a percent of the 3, 500 homes built by Pettit+Sevitt. Modernist features abound; quarry tiles; parquetry; open tread timber stairs; corner windows; and mottled vertical glass strips in the double, western red cedar, front doors announce a timelessness of the design that will delight those with an appreciation for Mid-Century Modern design. Internal accommodation is generous and well laid out, measuring approximately 170 sq m. The large open plan living and dining area is flanked by expanses of glass that blur the boundary between inside and out, and offers seamless connection with the covered rear terrace and large garden. Situated in one of Sydney's most highly sought after suburbs with quality schools, parks, rail and amenities, the features and design of this mid-century Modernist home provide a lifestyle and aesthetic that has enduring appeal.
