Innovatively redesigned for effortless family living and easy indoor/outdoor entertaining, this timelessly sophisticated, wonderfully functional coastal home captures dramatic ocean and headland views.

Graced with a host of clever touches, no-expense-spared finishes and exceptional alfresco areas, this stylish yet relaxed retreat was designed by architect Lara Calder.

Nestled at the end of a serene cul-de-sac opposite Pioneers Park, it backs onto reserve land, enhancing the sense of space and privacy.

Its thoughtful layout contains five bedrooms along with three sleek bathrooms with natural stone finishes, including a luxurious ensuite with a double shower and a large main bathroom with a bath.

An additional fully wired home office with private entry and courtyard area is ideal for those working from home.

At the heart of the home, the chic gourmet gas kitchen is appointed with CaesarStone benchtops, Blanco appliances, a double oven, breakfast bar and a huge walk-in pantry.

Again with the family orientation in mind, both the kitchen and the generous glass-embraced living and dining space overlook the garden so you can always keep an eye on the kids.

Upstairs, an expansive family room features a kitchenette and large wraparound balcony taking full advantage of the view, there’s even a sound-proofed door which makes it perfect for private entertaining or as a children’s TV retreat.
Designed by Jamie Durie’s ‘Patio’, the outdoor areas have been created for maximum entertaining pleasure. A covered hardwood barbeque terrace and manicured garden surround a saltwater pool with a water feature. A luxury cubbyhouse with a slide has been built for the kids and integrated seating benches double as additional outdoor storage space, complete with an icebox for storing your drinks.

No detail has been overlooked in the creation of a home that’s aesthetically appealing, enduringly tasteful and incredibly practical.

The double garage features internal access and vast storage space. In fact, there is an immense amount of storage right throughout the house. Additional features include hardwood floors, gas bayonets, integrated indoor/outdoor sound, a laundry chute and cedar doors.

It’s a leisurely stroll down to Malabar Beach and bus transport and just a few minutes drive to Maroubra Beach, schools and Maroubra Junction and Eastgardens shopping.

Unquestionably one of Maroubra’s most desirable family homes.
