The charming exterior, oversized windows and a peaceful garden-scape of native flora, stone gabion walls and timber decking, offer glimpses into the chic sophistication of this eco-friendly home, completely transformed to create bespoke, custom-appointed sun drenched spaces.
With an engineering eye for detail, coupled with a combined appreciation of natural finishes and sleek, streamlined design, the owners of this remarkable residence have created a peaceful sanctuary filled with love, light and undeniable soul.
Adopting Japanese principles of a discreet side entrance via a modest garden gate and Zen garden beyond offers an invitation to the glass entrance door revealing a galley-style kitchen and an open-plan layout. The Siemens appliances and practical stainless-steel cabinetry are complemented by the warmth of rich jarrah floors and high ceilings continued throughout the home.
Seamless transition into the open dining and connecting living room is supported by perfectly aligned doorways and shadow gap ceilings, offset by unique flat-panelled New Zealand Rimu veneer cabinetry – all custom crafted by German-Australian-owned Handwerk Design and an original stone-framed fireplace.. Flooded in glorious northern light, the open floorplan continues to an inviting sunroom and study nook overlooking peaceful garden views below. Light and privacy can be moderated around the seasons via modern aluminium louver shutter screens, while a large sliding door can be flung open to welcome the sea breeze.
Occupying the rear aspect is a spectacular light-filled master suite and sunny foyer – all connected to an enchanting, serene courtyard. Cleverly concealed via a huge sliding gilded mirror, this primary bedroom showcases bespoke timber veneer furniture pieces in full wall width, push-to-open built-in-robes and a central island drawer. Huge bi-fold doors reveal courtyard views of the tranquil collection of citrus trees, including the intoxicating scent of pomelo blossom, with the added bonus of a motorised remote-controlled Issey Flyloc sunshade which can remain static overnight for a true open-door camping experience!
Timber cabinetry is continued into the adjoining ensuite with a spectacular Norman Foster bath with letterbox feature window to the garden, Travetino vanity basin and designer European shower mixer & fittings.
A secondary bedroom, thoughtfully appointed with a bay window and automatic external venetian blinds, is joined by a similarly styled bathroom.
Wide open streets, close proximity to the river, ocean, neighbourhood parks and excellent schools - plus mere steps to shopping centres and endless amenities - this is a home where warm and textural aesthetics, exemplary design and superior living considerations are destined to attract fond admiration and a lifetime of pure satisfaction for the discerning custodians of this enigmatic property.
