THE DEAL
Behind an original 120-year-old French front door lies a home of rare beauty, where every detail tells a story and no expense has been spared in its creation. The striking front elevation is defined by bespoke arched cedar timber windows and hand-carved limestone, while original clinker brick paving and a large, stoned portico set an elegant tone on arrival.
Inside, French travertine floors and custom hallway arches lead the way to a home rich in European character. Timber lovers will appreciate the limited-edition dark walnut flooring and handcrafted finishes, including oversized cedar bifold and arched windows that flood the home with light. Extra-tall doors and soaring ceilings enhance the sense of scale throughout.
Going up a level your passing striking limestone staircase with a hand-forged wrought iron balustrade. The kitchen is a true showstopper, a classic shaker style in coastal tones, featuring an oversized central island, an original Falcon six-burner gas and electric oven, and a generous scullery. Italian-tiled floors add a refined touch, amplifying the sense of space and style. Flowing from the kitchen and dining area is a private balcony that captures breathtaking west and southwest ocean views. You’re also spoilt with a cosy lounge with its own fireplace offering another elevated retreat, perfect for quiet evenings or watching the sunset over the sea.
Bedrooms are generous in size, each with fitted walk-in robes and luxurious ensuite bathrooms. French doors open onto private decks from every downstairs bedroom, while the master includes a Juliet balcony overlooking the oasis-style pool. A fifth bedroom or flexible office/activity room boasts four custom arched cedar windows for a striking touch. Two of the bathrooms include their own freestanding bathtubs for added luxury.
Outdoor entertaining is equally impressive, with a sprawling batu deck nestled within a sheltered alfresco area featuring a timber-clad ceiling and family alfresco area complemented with a chefs pizza oven. This space flows seamlessly from the cathedral-beamed living area and opens onto a custom-designed concrete pool with a shallow entry, a 7-metre lap section, and lush tropical planting for added privacy.
Comfort and convenience are assured with zoned reverse-cycle air-conditioning controlled via app, energy-efficient LED lighting, and a fully integrated smart wiring system for audio and TV. The double garage includes a built-in workspace, extra storage, and three-phase power access.
Additional highlights include French door shutters, arched cedar shutters to the front living room, timber door frames throughout, R4 Earthwool roof insulation, generous under-stair and cupboard storage, a state-of-the-art alarm system, and beautifully detailed skirting boards that complete the home’s refined aesthetic.
