Commanding the Port Douglas dress circle is Seven Wharf Street, a resplendent waterfront private residence cocooned by tropical flora and towering palms. Designed as three pavilions, this trophy home features wide breezeways, deep verandas, and timber decks that epitomize the Tropical North Queensland indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Inspired by plantation-style British West Indies architectural vernacular – cathedral ceilings, open island house plan, columns and louver shutters to maximise the prevailing breezes – this residence sets the stage for a casually elegant style of living.
Strategically positioned advantaging the northerly aspects are unobstructed 180-degree views across the Coral Sea toward the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef Low Islands to the Daintree Rainforest and as far as the eye can see.
Celebrated architect Alex Gencur left no stone unturned in this brilliant masterpiece with meticulous attention to detail and luxurious appointments to the five bedrooms, four bathrooms plus guest powder room grand residence. Featured in the main pavilion are gracious living areas linked by a bespoke sculptured staircase to a second tier formal dining room, which overlooks a modern kitchen, equipped to delight a discerning chef and casual dining area. Adjacent to the kitchen is an air-conditioned scullery,a large commercial fridge/freezer and walk-in cool room, a laundry room and guest powder room. Central to the main pavilion is an 11-metre salt-water swimming pool surrounded by multi-tiered timber decks and outdoor living spaces.
Pavilion two and the secluded master bedroom suite and private balcony on the second level have breathtaking vistas over the manicured grounds and the Coral Sea. It includes a sumptuous ensuite and a separate dressing room. Three generously proportioned guest bedrooms and adjoining dual bathrooms make up the third pavilion. Connected by a covered breezeway are a double car garage and the fourth bedroom with private ensuite and a separate entrance.
Built to the highest standards using resilient materials and elegant finishes, Seven Wharf Street is moments from the heart of Port Douglas yet in a world of its own.
