The river, estuary, golf course and surf beach converge around this VAND Builders residence, where architectural restraint, material confidence and family function are held in equal balance. The white facade sits quietly in its setting, giving little away before the interior reveals its full measure. Blush toned marble, engineered oak and bespoke Allan Cabinetry all brought together with the authority of a brief completely understood.
Wide profile floorboards pull through the entry to the front master suite, where a picture window frames an established gum canopy while a pitched ceiling lifts the room with quiet drama. A fully appointed dressing room and ensuite continue the home’s refined material language through arched mirrors, marble, dual vanities, separate shower and concealed w.c. Nearby, a fitted study, powder room and laundry carry the same hand, treating the working edges of the home as further opportunity for craft.
The living pavilion is where the architecture exhales. A sculptural kitchen with premium appliances and butler’s pantry anchors the space, while banquette seating, a custom bar and layered pendant lighting give long lunches and unhurried evenings a natural place to gather. Gently sunken, the lounge settles around a Nectre wood fire upon a tiled hearth, with an upholstered reading nook shaping a room made for the kind of pause a brilliant home knows how to create.
Upstairs, three bedrooms, a rumpus, study nook, bathroom and separate powder room establish a family level with its own autonomy. Outside, alfresco skylights, a built-in Beefmaster barbecue, copper outdoor shower, lush lawns and rear roller access extend the home into the garden without concession. Ducted heating and cooling, 13.3kW solar and a three phase inverter underpin the performance beneath the polish. River sunsets at the end of the street, gum tips moving in the salt breeze, your feet on the sand in seconds, this is a home that earns the landscape it occupies.
