Last Listing description (March 2025)

From the moment you arrive at 4 Walford Road, it's clear this home is something truly special. Its design is a celebration of mid-century modern architecture, where form meets function in perfect harmony.

4 Walford Road, Sandy Bay is an architectural treasure—meticulously designed in 1950 by esteemed architects E. Garfield Haslock and Patrick Bush. Drawing inspiration from the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright, this mid-century modern residence is a true 'house of ideas', incorporating innovative features that were revolutionary for its era and remain impressive today.

Built for Mary & Gordon Gray, on land gifted by Mary's father, this home remained in the same family for over 55 years before changing hands in 2005. Now, for only the second time in history, this iconic residence is being offered to the market.

Step inside and experience architectural brilliance and warmth. Every space has been thoughtfully crafted to enhance daily life, showcasing masterful mid-century design elements that remain just as striking today.

Cleverly positioned windows flood the home with natural light, creating a seamless connection to the beautifully landscaped gardens. The split-level layout ensures effortless flow between living zones, with private spaces subtly separated for comfort and functionality.

The main living area is a showcase of craftsmanship—rich Tasmanian timber detailing, a striking stacked-stone fireplace, and a bespoke built-in bookcase all contribute to the home's undeniable character. Sunlight dances across the original timber floors, while the paved terraces and timber deck provide a perfect retreat for quiet moments or entertaining guests.

The dining and kitchen area offers an intimate yet airy setting, where large picture windows frame lush green garden. The kitchen, updated with modern appliances while retaining its 1950's charm, features custom timber cabinetry, a spacious layout and quality finishes that blend form and function effortlessly.

On the upper level, the bedrooms continue the theme of mid century design, each featuring original built-in timber wardrobes, and large picture windows. The primary suite captures both garden and river views and enjoys generous proportions, while the bathroom is a striking blend of period elegance and practicality, with bold black tile-work, original timber vanity and a deep soaking tub.

The home's architectural integrity has been meticulously preserved, from the stacked-stone fireplace to the Tasmanian timber detailing, showcasing a level of craftsmanship rarely seen today. The sheltered entrance, provides an inviting transition between the built environment and the lushly landscaped gardens that embrace the home on all sides.

Multiple terraced spaces spill into the established gardens, where mature trees, sculpted hedges, and seasonal plantings create an ever-changing canvas of colour and tranquillity. The garage, laundry, and fuel store are discreetly positioned along the eastern boundary, ensuring both convenience and a clean, uncluttered façade. Every aspect of the home reflects the architects' forward-thinking approach. Considered ahead of its time the house was featured on the cover of the 1951 Australian Home Beautiful magazine.

The lower floor comprises a self-contained one bedroom apartment which again reflects the architectural integrity of the house.

A home of enduring quality and craftsmanship, 4 Walford Road stands as a testament to architectural innovation, offering a rare blend of beauty, comfort and functionality that is simply unmatched.

Set within one of Sandy Bay's most distinguished enclaves, a short stroll to Long Beach Park, Nutgrove beach, cafes & shops, 4 Walford Road is more than just a home—it is a statement of architectural brilliance and timeless design. With its thoughtful mid-century aesthetic, and breathtaking natural surrounds, this residence embodies a rare harmony between visionary craftsmanship and enduring beauty.

Homes of this calibre—where design, history and setting come together so effortlessly—are seldom offered to the market. 4 Walford Road stands as a testament to a bygone era of ingenuity and elegance, an architectural treasure waiting to be embraced and preserved for generations to come.
