Summer breakfasts are enjoyed on the easterly deck where dramatic 180 degree ocean and island views can be enjoyed any time of the day or night from this elevated 1474m2 parcel of land which is only 400mts to the beach.
Steel (chosen for its rigidity) an glass to maximise the view predominate in the lightweight construction of the house which is only 10 years old. Painted hardiplank external cladding and extensive use of villa board as internal lining ensure that the house is low maintenance in our tropical climate.
Built against the side of a hill, the shape of the ceilings echo the land form while high glass windows bring the lush tropical gardens into the living room – your own private atrium.
The owners were determined to take advantage of the incredible surrounds and to create a home from which every room had a view.
Timber decks wrap around the octagonal front of the house providing an extension of the living areas.
Stunning ocean views to the east and tropical rainforest views to the west are on display from the moment you enter the home.
Large open spaces in neutral toning on the self contained upper level allow the tranquil vista to be as much a part of the home as the foundation itself.
As an extension of the living room, the office alcove enjoys views of tropical greenery which soften the hard surfaces and adds to the feeling of coolness generated by the water feature.
A rear shaded deck has been provided for those times when you require a quieter moment to reflect on the events of the day or just to sit and enjoy a good book.
Tropical plants overflow onto pathways that disappear around corners.
The lovely blue of the master bedroom which includes a sitting area and a luxurious en suite enhances the azure blue colour of the sea and sky.
The bright and airy kitchen is totally modern with two pack doors and drawers featuring timber topped island bench and light floods the room from the windows on all sides.
Gas cook-top will impress the chef who’s waiting to break out of all of us.
The home comes alive with the warmth of the timber floors and you’ll marvel at the character that exudes from the Blackbutt staircase made from 100 year old timber from the Woolstores in Sydney.
Two air-conditioned bedrooms on the lower level with adjoining bathroom provide an area for family and friends to enjoy their own private space. Each has a small balcony to sit and soak up the sun while gazing at the breath taking sea views.
Ample storage space on this level, include a garage plus workshop with electronic panel lift door.
Clever use of space has been made of the sloping block to provide car parking for four vehicles.
An explosion of colour fills the entrance foyer on the lower level, as the sun shines through the leadlight panel featuring a colourful heleconia.
Combining the best of modern and traditional design features and materials, this home is the epitome of comfort and a relaxed lifestyle, perfect for our tropical climate.
