Recently featured in Inside Out Magazine, and recreating the feel of a traditional coastal home yet impressively spacious and with a distinctly sophisticated edge, this contemporary castaway’s escape’ sits privately behind the fabulous amenities of Palm Beach village and is just one street back from the water.

Drop anchor and enjoy light filled living areas including a huge open-air loft all under vaulted ceilings with recycled Oregon beams, as well as a separate artist’s studio or guest cottage. The stainless steel/gas kitchen is superbly equipped for entertaining; the main bathroom includes a freestanding Kaldewei tub, and there’s an ensuite to the master bedroom.

The multi-purpose loft is air conditioned and perfect as a teenagers’ retreat or fifth bedroom, while the studio comes complete with its own bathroom plus a second outdoor shower and separate laundry.

White American Oak floorboards with a Synteko finish, Tasmanian blackwood joinery and marble accents in the kitchen and bathroom signify quality and blend with fresh seaside elements to create a relaxed holiday-like ambience; there’s no shortage of storage space for surfboards, plenty of room for a boat, and a jetty-like boardwalk from the front door is directly across from a walking track down onto the beach.

Equally suitable as a weekender or permanent family getaway, the home needs absolutely nothing further done and provides a light filled haven for a modern lifestyle in a prestigious Pittwater setting within an hour’s drive of the centre of Sydney.
