Ken Woolley's latest Modernist Pettit + Sevitt project home, built recently with 21st-century thinking, remains listed with $1.18 million plus hopes after being withdrawn from its weekend auction.

The five-bedroom, two-bathroom Lowline house project by the veteran architect was built  in the Sydney hills district suburb of Kellyville at the request of Val Sevitt, the widow of company co-founder Ron Sevitt.

It is three decades after the original building company closed its doors. The original 1960s house design has been updated to meet modern building requirements.

Pettit + Sevitt relaunched in 2009 under the directorship of Ron Sevitt’s widow, Val Sevitt, and her children, Colin Sevitt and Carol Perry.

At one stage Pettit + Sevitt was building 400 of Lowline houses a year with about 3,500 built in the 1960s and '70s.

The latest offering remains listed through McGrath agent Mark Vinogradov.
