Modern Minimal Excellence in your own Nature Retreat
|1 title | 3.34ha|
Sitting on the top of the stunning Torbay Hill this property rises out of surrounding Karri bushland with minimalistic grace to encompass spectacular rural views across to the Wilson Inlet and even as far as the majestic Stirling Ranges.
This stunning architecturally designed home was built with the vision of inviting the beauty of the natural bushland inside, with its use of a minimalist steel and glass design. You are immediately welcomed by the views as you walk through the large glass pivot door into the spacious living space. The home has full height windows providing different views from all angles and doors from all rooms allowing access out onto the extensive decks which surround the house.
Upon entering the living area the countless windows flood the rooms with natural light and will have you casting your eye in every direction, enjoying the views that take in the beauty of the Torbay region. The house is spacious but inviting and as you step into the main living area you can equally imagine taking in a summer sunset or tucking yourself up by the open wood fire, that features in the main living area, to watch a winter storm roll by. And at night the feature windows throughout allow glimpses of the perfect night skies.
Leading into a perfectly appointed kitchen - inclusive of a well thought out scullery - entertaining is made easy with a huge island bench, quality full sized appliances and a door that leads directly out to the alfresco area. There is an abundance of storage and the clean lines of the kitchen extend to an in-bench extraction fan. Australian chestnut floors throughout add to the warm light filled feel of the house and work in tying in the natural environment outside with the modern feel of the house inside. The minimalist design featured in the house is accentuated by the use of walls of windows, no architraves and feature lighting throughout.
The master suite is divided from the rest of the house by a cosy living room which has a large fireplace with marble hearth and doors out to the deck which overlooks the dam on the property. Stepping into the master suite or "adults retreat" you enter through a large dressing area to find the main bedroom with its picture window allowing you to enjoy the bushland views from the comfort of your bed, wall heating and perfectly thought out feature lighting giving it that retreat feel. From the main bedroom you can access two separate deck areas, both enclosed for privacy with glass balustrading.
Next door to the main bedroom there is a sitting room with large windows and a warm sunny feel and also a beautifully appointed bathroom. The bathroom features Italian porcelain tiles to the ceiling and a walk in shower with its own picture window once again recreating that feel of inviting the outside in to immerse you in the natural beauty of the property.
Walking back down the hallway from the master suite you will find three additional bedrooms, two with large robes and all with sliding doors out onto the decks. There is also a conveniently located and very well thought out laundry with a huge amount of storage space like is found everywhere throughout the home. The guest bathroom with its own bath also has Italian porcelain tiles to the ceiling and showcases Phillipe Starck tapware and porcelain all with a modern minimalist feel.
The home is reached by a concrete driveway to undercover parking to the rear or a two car garage tucked away beneath the house. As well as the garage there is also a massive space under the house with built in benches, workshop area, storage and three large rainwater tanks.
