Roberta Easton, an interior designer, told real estate agents during her house hunt that she wanted a 'wow factor', and she found it at 91 Hudson Parade. In 2016, she and her husband Patrick bought Reeves House, designed by architects Peter Stutchbury and Sue Harper. The property was commended for the Robin Boyd Award for Residential Architecture, the Australian Institute of Architects' top award for new homes, in 2000.
The tri-level home is nestled in the treetops with views to Pittwater and features open spaces that maximise sun while offering shelter from the weather. After a decade in the house, the couple, both aged 65, have decided to sell and make a tree change.
The Eastons previously lived in Sydney's inner west for almost a decade, where they renovated a Victorian terrace house. Patrick, a business consultant, said the difference between that home and their current one was that they had felt 'all enclosed'. Roberta explained that in the terrace, 'you walk through the front door, past the great rooms, staircase going up, and it's not till you actually get to the back of the house where it opens up.' 'We always thought, gee, we would love to see more of the outdoors,' Patrick said.
The property is listed for sale by private treaty with a $6 million price guide.
