IWAN IWANOFF CLASSIC SORRY- NOW SOLDEMBRACE the challenge of returning this Iwan Iwanoff classic to its original brilliant and inspiring form. Being one of only a handful of houses created by the late Iwan Iwanoff in Perth the fortunate new owner will secure a unique home in a superb Floreat location.Wikipedia informs me the architect Iwan Iwanoff was originally from Bulgaria who moved to Perth in 1950 and settled in Fremantle. He started his own business in 1963 and was responsible for designing about 30 houses and buildings in Perth. There are 3 other Iwanoff designed houses in Floreat, all restored one was his own home and unfortunately one at 165 The Boulevard burnt down last December. In nearby City Beach there are 3 other examples of his work. For the love of golf another home was built in Summerhayes Drive Karrinyup and another owner of an Iwanoff creation in Dianella was most effusive in his praise of the home.And there is much more to read if you are curious, viz:l"His intention was not to push a theory or reject tradition but to embody what he saw as the timeless traditions of art in contemporary form. Indeed, his emphasis on ornamentation and his playfulness with texture, light and shade place him, if anything, in the Rococo tradition, one at polar opposites to the spare modernism of his time and place - a precursor of post-modernism and what some now call the New Baroque"33 Donegal Road is still in the same family who commissioned Iwanoff to design their new residence. The home comprises 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms, lounge, dining, kitchen , meals. There is a free standing studio at the rear which also has a bedroom and bathroom and overlooks a generous sized swimming pool. Under the house is a large garage and workshop. Typical features such as massive granite block fireplaces, wooden parquetry floors, fully tiled bathrooms, capacious windows and the use of striking wallpaper are all evident.The house is sited on a massive 1033sqm almost rectangular block which rises evenly about 2 metres from the road so for the less compassionate there is the option of demolition and rebuilding of a brand new home.Owner reserves the right to accept any offer prior to the due dateRing David Hedges on 0417969700 all hours and 93875222 during office hours
