‘Bowen House’ – A Vision of Elevation, Luxury and Legacy
A timeless expression of architectural artistry and British Colonial elegance, ‘Bowen House’ stands as a landmark of esteem and elevation at one of Camp Hill’s highest vantage points. An inspired collaboration between McPhee Building Design, Amanda Emmerson from DeWolf Visual Collective, and M.R. Baker Design & Renovation, this residence unites enchanting views with a curated material palette to create a home of enduring legacy—reimagining old-world refinement for contemporary living. Poised upon a north–south 607sqm parcel, the newly renovated home embraces tranquil greenery and glittering city vistas. Inside, 3.3-metre coffered ceilings, wainscoting, French doors, imported lighting and designer wallpaper orchestrate a symphony of textures and tones, instilling grace and grandeur across both levels. Anchored by a statement fireplace, the downstairs living and dining spaces radiate warmth and connection, complemented by culinary excellence—a climate-controlled wine cellar, chef’s kitchen, and expansive butler’s pantry elevate every occasion. These flow seamlessly to the alfresco entertaining zone, revealing a terrace, BBQ kitchen, mineral pool, gazebo, and firepit retreat—a setting for remarkable relaxation and year-round entertaining. Upstairs, two additional living areas and private balconies capture both reserve and mountain vistas, while at the rear, an outdoor bar and breathtaking city skyline views create a captivating backdrop that transforms from daylight to dusk. Five bedrooms and four bathrooms (including three ensuites), a powder room, and a remote garage complete the home’s accommodations. The master suite indulges in sweeping panoramic views from its bed, window seat, and private balcony—a serene escape suspended above the city. A study nook offers quiet space for reading or work, while two versatile lower-level rooms (one with private entry) adapt perfectly for home offices, studios, or guest retreats.
