12 Johnston Parade

Hidden behind an impressive 18m frontage, this remarkable freestanding residence unfolds as a private family retreat where every space has been designed to embrace light, connection and effortless indoor-outdoor living. Set on a north-facing 519sqm approx parcel, beautifully established gardens create a lush backdrop to a sunny entertainer's deck and sparkling saltwater pool, delivering a resort-like atmosphere equally suited to lively gatherings or quiet family time. Originally designed by Pettit & Sevitt, pioneers of Australian California Modern architecture, the single-storey home has been thoughtfully reimagined through a distinctly contemporary lens while remaining true to its architectural heritage. Warm timber finishes, natural materials and walls of glass create an inviting sense of calm, while sustainable design principles enhance comfort and everyday liveability. Wonderfully versatile, with flexible living zones, 4m high ceilings and a dedicated work-from-home space, the home is exceptionally peaceful and private, yet just 600m from the International French School. On the cusp of South Coogee, it offers a rare balance of architectural integrity and contemporary comfort creating an enduring family home designed to evolve for generations to come. - A private haven set amid private established landscaped gardens - Wide skylit entry hall, American Oak floorboards, high ceilings - Timeless design with openness, space and visual connections - 4 double bedrooms with built-in robes plus a skylit home office - Entertainer's Euro-appointed kitchen anchored by an island bench - Sun-filled living with lofty 4m high ceilings and a sleek gas fireplace - 2nd living with home theatre system opens to a loggia-style deck - Private north-facing garden with a solar-heated saltwater pool - 2 designer bathrooms plus a powder room and outdoor shower - Double parking, lock-up garage with storage and internal access - Reverse cycle air and eco wall heaters, 11.5kW solar power system - 250m to Latham Park and South Coogee Bowlo, minutes to beaches
