The enclosed pavilion, veranda and kitchen welcome the sun every morning, which is pivotal. Classic Queensland design never dates and never needs ‘making over’ and this residence is the only property in this most desirable location that links this States heritage with a contemporary beach style living.

The position of this property is truly unique, with National Park at the rear of the property (close enough to touch) and the nearest Northern neighbor over 350m away on Dolphin Bay Drive. This property does not even glimpse at another roof top as across the road is another smaller National Park that can never be built on with a tree lined boardwalk spanning a small stream on your way to the beach a few hundred metres away. Just follow the sound of the sea which can be heard from your bedroom at night also.

Step through the front door and a higher echelon of inspiration is unveiled. VJ clad ceilings soar 20 metres overhead. The triangular clerestory, traditionally used in churches, allows light to flood in. Paired limb like pillars soar above. The space is cleverly partitioned by louvered screens, with a grand stacked stone fireplace a key focal point of the room.

The kitchen enjoys walls of French doors and classic tall windows leading onto verandahs and the delightful fully screened ‘outdoor/indoor pavilion’. This Northernmost living space is a key part of the leisurely living of this house. The timber cabinetry, tall opaque cupboards, wide gas stove and central freestanding bench blend the old with the new via stone and textured stainless steel.
