Dunraven, the Sir Roy Grounds-designed Table Top property, listed
When it came to architecture, Sir Roy Grounds is regarded a a leader of the Australian modern movement.
It's been suggested Grounds' industrially grained aesthetic lent a timeless quality to public and private spaces, the latter certainly evident at the recently listed six-hectare property Dunraven at Table Top in NSW.
Dunraven has been described as monumental but also inviting.
It was designed in the 1970s for the former MP Sir David Fairbairn, with original features including straw ceilings, exposed beams and cement-block walls.
It's now been listed by the fourth owners, Barry and Helen Clifton, who were the first to carry out any major renovations, including its kitchen upgrade.
The property is 15 kilometres north-west of Albury on a ridge with views of Albury's night lights to the west and Hume Weir to the east.
The 537-square-metre house comes with full-length six-metre-high windows and sliding doors. There are six bedrooms – two with ensuites. There are also formal sitting and dining rooms and a home office.
The Cliftons bought the lifestyle property four years ago.
It's been listed by Brian Phegan at Brian Phegan Real Estate Albury with $1 million-plus hopes. Offers are due by November 16.
