Escape the rigours of executive life and discover the new relaxed you in a haven of calm, just metres from the aquamarine waters of Tennyson beach. With breathtaking ocean vistas and a stunning lap pool, this elegant home sets the benchmark for beachside quality and luxury. It draws inspiration from the dune setting and the cool, airy villas of faraway Tuscany.
Composite sandstone pavers sweep through the property, while glossy granites, tumbled marbles and epic limestone fireplaces are stunning natural elements that play out over two light-infused levels.
From the auto double garage off Seaview Road the property opens up to a private, well established courtyard garden with a glass mosaic lap pool. The moment you cross the threshold into the home ocean views rush to greet you, holding your gaze and drawing you along an impressively wide hallway, into the open-plan living area.
It is here that you will unwind and enjoy downtime with family and friends against a backdrop of mesmerizing seascapes and dunes lit for night time magic. A gas log fire radiates hospitality from the locally crafted limestone fireplace while the galley kitchen is all European country house sophistication. Here, generous storage with a hand-painted quality is offset by beautiful granite counters and sleek stainless steel appliances including a superb industrial Zanussi gas range.
Down a flight of stone stairs is the cellar – a cool subterranean room just perfect for hosting wine tastings. The cellar features climate controlled refrigeration units and racks that store up to 80 dozen bottles.
Also on the lower level is a TV room adjacent to one of three stunning marble bathrooms. With French door access to the pool courtyard, it would make the perfect guest suite for visiting family and friends.
Surround sound sets the mood in all the living areas, bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as in the rear courtyard garden.
The huge master bedroom features an imposing barrel-vaulted ceiling, study zone with library shelving and a beautifully appointed dressing room. The spa bath overlooking the ocean in the master ensuite is sheer bliss. The sea views can also be enjoyed from the double shower which transforms into a steam room at the flick of a switch.
A second study area makes the most of a spacious landing and could easily be partitioned for a fourth bedroom, sharing luxurious family bathroom facilities with another double bedroom on this upper level.
With a spectacular wine cellar, premium storage throughout, zoned climate control, underfloor heating, ducted vacuuming, security alarm, two-station intercom with optional TV monitoring, three phone lines plus provision for Foxtel and the internet; it is hard to spot a single detail that has not come under careful scrutiny.
But it is the sense of space and privacy; the immediacy of the beach and those Gulf views that make this beacon of quality on the seafront so incredibly special. And all this only 500 metres from the Grange jetty and within easy walking distance to vibrant Henley Square. Adelaide International Airport and the city are just twenty minutes away.
