Dual Brownlow medallist Nat Fyfe — a man of many talents — has sold the North Coogee home he helped to design.
Intent on creating a place that could withstand a flying indoor football, the result is a hardwearing abode with an industrial vibe and a touch of Fyfe’s trademark warmth.
The property has not settled yet, so the price is unknown.
But it appears the successful offer was made a few weeks ago — about the same time Fyfe ended his injury-induced non-playing streak with a game in the Gold Coast.
The new owners are assured of getting a beautiful home set one street from the beach.
The property has not settled yet.
I knew exactly what I wanted and what I liked modern, contemporary with a slightly industrial feel. And it had to be hard-wearing so 20 to 25-year-old blokes could live in it, kick balls around and not easily damage stuff, he said at the time.
I also wanted to incorporate raw materials rock, wood, glass and steel wherever I could, to give it a look that was rustic and authentic.
The two-storey house, on a 333sqm, 12m-wide block.
And no stone was left unturned in his bid to bring to life his visions for an indoor feature wall, with three specialist stonemasons employed for the job.
I love my rock wall that’s my pride and joy, Fyfe previously said.
