Exclusive Hardys Bay House is set on an elevated 1,423 square metres of private bushland with stunning panoramic North Easterly views of beautiful Hardys Bay and Bouddi National Park.
The home was completed in 2016 and was designed by renowned architect Craig Burton. The owners brief was to achieve an Australian coastal home that expressed the strong elements of the construction embracing the bushland and water views.
The result is a large, light-filled single-story pavilion style home constructed of besser blocks, polished concrete decking, timber framework, fibro cement sheeting and recycled silvertop ash interior flooring. Together they create the sense of strength and beauty combined with relaxed coastal living.
The main living area with its mid-century ambiance consists of free-flowing living, kitchen and dining area with a central built-in fireplace.
Expansive 4.3 metre ceilings with cross ventilating louvered windows and a nine blade
Airfusion Resort ceiling fan will keep you cool in summer. During the winter months, a large Jetmaster fireplace will keep the whole house warm as toast.
Discrete window treatments and large fixed glass panels flood the house with light and intimate views of the bush and water.
The kitchen is an example of functional restraint enjoying expansive views across the bay. The benchtops are brushed stainless steel with marine ply joinery and shark nose drawers. The central island is recycled Blackbutt. There is a five-burner Ilve gas cooktop, a Fisher and Paykel wall oven, Miele dishwasher and walk-in pantry.
The main living area flows to an expansive and partially covered polished concrete deck with stunning water views, perfect for entertaining.
The master bedroom has an adjoining second bedroom/study which opens onto the deck. The en-suite bathroom has underfloor heating and a heated towel rail. It also features a capacious walk in shower space and a large Kaldewei bath, perfect for a relaxing soak.
There is a generous size third bedroom and another spacious bathroom also with underfloor heating.
Attached adjacent to the main home is a large studio with terrazzo concrete flooring featuring its own separate entrance and private access to the second bathroom via an internal covered courtyard – ideal for visiting guests.
The home boasts a double lock up garage with the addition of an oversized storage area. This storage area has multiple uses as a workshop, games room or a work from home space. Both have 4.3-metre ceilings.
GARDEN
The private bushland garden at the rear of the house has ancient native trees and meandering bush tracks. These lead to caves and rock platforms that create natural lookouts over Brisbane Water to Wagstaffe Point and Hardys Bay.
