Soaring ceilings, generous open plan living spaces and panoramic mountain views are all signature features of this contemporary Coffs Harbour home, which offers the opportunity to live on one level and still have ample room for guests (or older kids) to live and sleep downstairs.
From the contemporary curved roof lines of this architectural design to the exposed grooved ceilings in the living spaces – this is not your standard home design, a breath of fresh air for devotees of modern design and those that just want room to move.
At street level there’s a front timber deck off the master bedroom and remote access to the single garage, which has made clever use of the vertical space by adding a mezzanine storage level well above car height. Store the Christmas decorations and kids’ memorabilia here and keep your living areas blissfully uncluttered. Helping with this cause is the storage cupboard for your brooms and vacuum and double linen press on either side of the powder room/guest toilet – which, like the rest of this home is modern and stylish.
Located at the front of the home, well away from the living spaces, the master bedroom would easily accommodate a king-sized bed, there’s a sliding door to the timber deck outside, a whole wall of mirrored robes and a good-sized ensuite with chocolate wall-hung vanity.
Back to the hallway and modern matt-finish tiles flow all the way through to the open plan living areas, the chocolate kitchen has a stainless steel wall oven, gas cook top, big corner pantry and fabulous wrap-around stone bench-tops. Under-mounted dual circular sinks and a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher are other features.
A half-dividing wall between the dining and living rooms helps delineate the space in such a large open plan room, where even the string of ceiling lights are a feature. Beyond this space is a generous covered entertaining deck, the perfect spot to sit with cheese and biscuits and a glass of wine while you watch the sun set over the wall of mountains beyond. This really is one of those beautiful views which reminds you what makes Coffs Harbour different from many other coastal areas – ie the dramatic views from mountain to sea. (The fact that you can enjoy this view and still be within roughly a five minute drive of the CBD is another attraction for the area).
Back inside and stainless steel horizontal wire is another modern touch around the stairwell, with timber stairs leading to the downstairs living room. Prepare to be surprised at the living/study space on offer – there’s ample here for kids, guests, students etc, while a European-style laundry in a cupboard is an efficient use of space outside the stylish main bathroom.
A deep bathtub is ideal for soaking, there’s a good sized shower and another wall-hung vanity adds to the spacious feeling.
Downstairs there are also two more good-sized bedrooms, perfect for children/teens/guests – ideal to create a sense of separation from the master bedroom on the next level. This is a perfect space if you have adolescents, teens or uni students living at home, they have their own bedrooms, bathroom and living space as well as a covered outdoor zone. A sliding door off the downstairs living room leads to this paved undercover area – there are central stairs and a useable yard with two lawn areas that would suit small pets (with the addition of a rear fence) and even some kids’ play equipment.
This sun-drenched space is also the ideal spot to read alfresco in winter, keep a herb garden, or simply enjoy the views over the area year round.
Other features at the property include excellent roof insulation and instantaneous gas hot water.
Contemporary and larger than some freestanding houses, this is the ideal property for those seeking a low maintenance dwelling without compromising size. The style will appeal to anyone with a love of modern design, the views are to die for, and the location – among other quality homes – is convenient and an easy drive into the CBD.
