Rare offering of home designed by award winning architect

A waterfront home designed by an architect best known for his award-winning work designing public buildings is on the market.

One of the only residential properties he has ever designed, Richard Francis-Jones created twin residences at 220 Blackwall Road, Woy Woy taking advantage of a due-north waterfront reserve.

“These properties were a labour of love; Mr Francis-Jones originally designed the dual residences for his family.

“We will be taking the property at 220B Blackwall Road to auction on 1 June 2014,” Shaun Hudson-Smith, selling principal of Ray White Terrigal said.

Located around one hour north of Sydney, the property sits on Brisbane Water with its own boat mooring.

“This is a home that is all about lifestyle. Its the perfect investment for Sydneysiders who are searching for a weekender, or couples wanting a sea change while staying within commuting distance to Sydney.

“From the front yard, you have easy access to Brisbane Water. It’s ideal for fishing, boating and kayaking. A cycleway provides kilometres of easy cycling and the property is a short walk away from the train station for commuters,” Mr Hudson-Smith explains

The terrace home offers ample space and sercurity with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a remote controlled gate entry and alarm system.

Richard Francis-Jones has led the design of many international competition and award-winning projects. Recently completed projects led by Richard include the University of Sydney Law School, the Surry Hills Library and Community Centre, and the Mint. Projects.
