If it was ever possible for a home to be vivacious, this would be it. Bright and bold, full of tenacity and warmth, this daring, executive property makes no apologies for its statement-making panache. Certainly, its grand design, sweeping curves and a fantastically, flamboyant colour palette over two meticulous floors all make for a strong presence upon the prime, 3535m2 riverfront site.
Of course a home with this much flair really does lend itself to serious entertaining, and so boasts facilities to suit just about any style of event. The house itself for example, has a games room, a show stopping kitchen, a generous outdoor terrace complete with in-built barbecue and an enviable bar replete with industrial washers and fridges, ample shelving and even a massive stainless steel tub for ice.
Further afield, the grounds provide room for a flood lit, North-South facing tennis court, a pool, a covered, elevated gazebo (ideal for watching the game) and even a fire pit for more casual affairs. These amenities are all surrounded by stunning, sub-tropical gardens dotted with water features and manicured lawns and all set against the backdrop of the river. When combined, these elements all work together to provide incredible views from most rooms in the house.
Nowhere is this more apparent than in the second floor master bedroom which enjoys stunning vistas from both the bedroom and the expansive ensuite complete with two separate vanities and a large corner spa. Occupying its own private wing, the suite is separated from the other bedrooms by a private staircase and a large void which also works to creating an inspiring double story ceiling over the ground level foyer.
The second wing meanwhile, (which contains three bedrooms and the family bathroom) has a generous landing which displays its own art instillation; a vibrant row of large cubes – ideal for showcasing sculptural art, but as much an artistic feature in its own right, especially when viewed from downstairs in the foyer. There is also a study, powder room, ample storage and parking for up to seven vehicles.
With such a dramatic interior, the home’s exterior is somewhat more subdued, but still presents an elegant facade and a most impressive streetscape that really showcases the epic statement-making grandeur that this home is all about.
