The innovative use of contemporary building materials combines brilliantly with striking design and a versatile floor plan at this exclusive two-storey home overlooking Princess Royal Harbour.
Extensive glazing on both levels makes the most of the amazing views over the harbour to Torndirrup National Park, Frenchman Bay and around to the port and Mount Clarence from almost every room.
This vista is shared by the upper and lower decks, both idyllic spots for relaxing and entertaining, and fitted with pull-down blinds for adjustable shade and shelter.
With engineered galvanised steel framing, double brick on the lower level, smart Masterwall cladding on the upper, and beautiful polished concrete floors throughout, the home is inspiring and exciting.
Upstairs is the main living space – a sunny, air-conditioned family room and dining area with the kitchen at one end. This has a pantry, induction cooktop, electric oven, dishwasher, and appliance cupboard, finished in sleek slate-grey and white.
At the front is the king-sized master bedroom with an ensuite shower room and built-in robe, and a separate power-room toilet with handbasin.
Flexibility of design allows for the self-contained downstairs section to be used for independent living for a family member or as an Airbnb.
It consists of an air-conditioned sitting room with glazed doors onto the lower deck, a kitchenette, laundry, two king bedrooms with built-in robes, a bathroom with bath, shower and vanity, a separate toilet, and a handy storeroom.
Thoughtful extra features include a ducted vacuum system, solar panels, a security system, and double glazing and good insulation for enhanced comfort.
In the well-organised under croft area are two 4500ltr rainwater tanks, a powered workshop and storage space.
The septic system’s aerobic treatment unit provides grey water for the garden on the 410sqm block, which is mainly in natives for easy maintenance.
A huge double carport is augmented by additional off-road parking for guests.
