Arguably the best address on the Gold Coast, this exclusive pocket of prestige waterfront homes boasts a private sandy beach and spectacular views across the widest stretch of the main Nerang River. Premier boys college, TSS, is adjacent, with Southport Park shopping centre, Ferry Road Markets and Southport CBD all close by. Completed just a few years ago, this home is a masterpiece of design and quality, exhibiting a unique art deco styling that recalls the elegance of the 1930s within a home as modern as tomorrow. The brilliant architectural design splits the home into two distinct wings linked by a deep private pool traversed by an arched stone footbridge. This leads into a spacious casual entertaining room with an east outlook across the water to Surfers Paradise skyline. The upper storey also utilises a corridor bridge’ to divide family and guest rooms from the opulent master suite.
The impressive entry foyer sets the mood with art deco leadlight doors into an atrium beneath a neon-lit dome. Curved walls, detailed cornices, gleaming parquet features and custom-crafted balustrades recall the rich era of Harlow and Gable, while muted shades of grey teamed with white create an elegant background for today’s sleek decor style. An executive study and large guest suite flank the foyer, with stairs leading down to the basement garage and gymnasium. The soundproof theatre offers the latest in AV technology, while the adjoining powder room sweeps back to the 30s with a black fossil stone vanity and chevron-cut wall mirror. Beyond the beautiful formal dining room are kitchen and family areas opening to the central pool courtyard. Metallic-finish cabinetry, quartz stone benchtops and the finest gas-electric appliances await the creative chef. The upper level features deep-pile charcoal earth-toned carpets through 4 family bedrooms, most including built-in study areas, balconies and private ensuites with heated flooring. Wrap-around water views enhance the aura of space and light. Incorporated into the glamorous master suite are his and hers dressing rooms, a marble ensuite with a large spa and a terrace overlooking the riverfront lawns and beach. Exterior spiral stairs lead up to a third-level studio-observation room featuring folding glass doors on three sides to capture ambient breezes. Throughout the home, a touch-screen (or Ipod or Ipad) system controls climate, lighting, A/V, access, floor heating and security, including a music system linking to Ipods and Iphones.
