The creative reinvention of one of Coogee's finest Queen Anne style Federation villa's reveals a cultivated response to the fusion of heritage and contemporary architecture crafted as a forever family home. On the high side of a one-way street adjoining ocean parkland that leads down to the beach, 'Aronui' has been conceived as a luxurious family home and wellness retreat designed with a focus on holistic living and alfresco entertaining. Recreated by Christopher Jordan Architecture with interiors by Rita Cobanov Design, the copper-clad home is crowned with a whole-floor parents' retreat reminiscent of a luxury penthouse with private lift access and a balcony that captures views of the ocean and the Coogee valley. The original front of the home retains its period finery while a dramatic pavilion-style extension delivers the wow factor and brings in the northerly sunshine with soaring cathedral ceilings and walls of glass creating a seamless indoor/outdoor connection. The massive portal connects seamlessly to the north-facing backyard with everything the health-conscious family could wish for including a heated mosaic-tiled pool, outdoor kitchen, infrared sauna and gym. A haven of refined beauty, every room has been transformed into a masterpiece where functionality meets artistic expression. As you would expect with a property of this calibre, features are extensive and include a self-contained studio with separate entry; Basalte technology; wine cellar with hydraulic trap door; zoned air; Sonos sound; cutting-edge security and double garaging.
