The occasional yachts to-ing and fro-ing, families enjoying a day in the sun, walkers exercising along the beach and bay and the sound of the waves gently rolling in ….. these are just some of the movements and views from this cleverly designed Witzig beach residence. The layout makes it a perfect home for one family with a private parent retreat, or it suits two to four families in a holidaying situation. Inside, there is complete quiet and peace. However, if it is action you want, look out from three of the large entertainment and dining decks.
This is a timeless, contemporary, north facing and spacious 4 bedroom/4 bathroom luxury beach house, built to take in the extraordinary views from this sought after position. Walk from the security and under cover parking for five vehicles and enter the spacious reception area that leads to a roomy open plan kitchen, dining and living floor with double powder-coated sliding doors to the huge “fenced” deck overlooking the line of pines and the ocean. This is north coast living at its best ….. marine quality stainless steel, powder-coated sliding doors from all living areas and bedrooms to private decks. The colours in the living areas and bedrooms are off white; the floors are polished Grey Box timber, the ceilings a rich honey coloured Hoop Pine and excellent air flow is promoted by the clever use of timber and glass louvre windows.
The cook and entertainer’s kitchen has a 6 burner gas stove top and electric oven, the fittings and fan are stainless steel and the benches and “prep” area surfaces are thick, quality laminate. The walk-in pantry and scullery – yes, a scullery – has plenty of shelving and there is more storage for linen and appliances here, in the laundry and in the main hallway. Adjacent to this living area is a guest powder room with a toilet.
Three of the four extra large bedrooms have private shower rooms and toilets, a sitting/TV area, ceiling fans, air conditioning, built-in wardrobes and private balconies – with those ocean views again! There is a kitchenette adjoining the parent’s end of the house – making this an excellent area for house guests also – and a very workable office.
The residence is designed to capture natural light and it backs on to a Nature Reserve that attracts many species of birds. There are other thoughtful features including an outside shower to wash off the salt and sand, an easy-to-maintain garden, a workshop, a specialty of the Witzig design which is the walk around deck on both the upper and lower decks for cleaning and maintenance and, very importantly, for those who love fishing is the hidden bench and double sink for presenting the days catch to the cook …..
This is hardly a simple life by the sea ….. this is a sophisticated, but relaxed, lifestyle situated in one of the north coast’s favourite beachside townships – Brooms Head!
