With all the allure of a breezy Palm Springs bungalow, this recently transformed, late 1970s-built residence displays a refined design aesthetic, attentively chosen inclusions and an ultra-luxe, contemporary style. Set in a blissfully quiet, tree-lined street just steps from parkland, featured are elegant, light-filled living areas with exposed rafter ceilings, multi-level entertaining decks and a private courtyard, premium Miele appliances and bespoke cabinetry. A beautiful place to call home, the finishes are exceptional, showcasing stunning stone and tiled surfaces, brushed gold tapware and lighting fixtures and solid Tasmanian Oak floors.
Visually appealing from the street and even more stunning once inside, the impeccable redesign has included an exciting reconfiguration and renovation of the home’s interiors, and the addition of all-new, white-framed windows and French doors, a long glass skylight above the entry and an enclosed double garage. Having a desirable northeast aspect and good passive design, high-positioned windows capture natural light year-round and warm interiors during winter.
Purposeful, comfortable and luxurious without excessive scale, this jewel of a residence has a long list of desirable features, an enduring style and a refreshing simplicity. With vivid white finishes punctuated by the warmth of natural oak, on-trend star-style breezeblock highlights and both height-enhancing vertical detailing and curved surfaces, there is so much to love.
Voguish living, dining and kitchen areas invite relaxation, contentment and connection. Custom-designed contrasting cabinetry grants bookshelf display and storage along the media wall, the separate dining area is bright and engaging with its over-table pendant and the designer kitchen is intentionally well-equipped.
Presented is a rounded stone-top island with fluted oak facings, soft-close cabinetry and an abundance of sleek storage and clever inclusions. Miele appointments include an induction cooktop, two side-by-side ovens and a dishwasher. Requiring just a step or two outside onto the expansive deck, entertaining will be a breeze.
With an integrated barbecue kitchen, an alfresco dining terrace with festoon lighting overhead and an ambiently-lit sunken seating area ideal for conversation, this outdoor living zone is conducive to relaxation. Established lilly pilly trees and a stunning, neighbouring jacaranda provide the perfect outlook.
Two of the four luxurious, built-in and pure wool-carpeted bedrooms open to a northeast-facing courtyard, with each exclusive space separated by a planted landscape. What an ideal spot to catch some sunshine while you savour that first coffee of the day or to relax with a book in hand, late into the afternoon.
The master bedroom has a custom-installed walk-in-robe and an elegant ensuite design that includes beautiful, brushed gold fittings and suspended oval mirrors, terrazzo-look floor and wall tiles and natural marble mosaic highlights. This and the main bathroom are finished to an exceptional standard, with oak wall-hung vanities, smooth, acrylic surface basins, in-wall cisterns and plenty of natural light and ventilation. A back-to-wall freestanding bath and soothing rain showers also feature.
Sheer, flowing drapes, quality Luxaflex honeycomb blinds and white plantation shutters cement the attention to detail. All energy efficient, the selection of gold-finished, opaque glass wall sconces and pendants, the hallway’s circular timber ambient lighting and the kitchen’s linear pendant above the servery add visual impact.
Individually zoned, ducted air-conditioning has been installed throughout and can be controlled via a scaleable home automation system. All bedrooms, additionally, have ceiling fans, the laundry is light and airy, and there are generous storage areas located both within and underneath the house.
