57 Murphy Street, Port Douglas

Those who appreciate the finer things in life are sure to be captivated by this exceptional opportunity to secure an exclusive, centrally located masterpiece of a residence, finished to exacting standards of luxury over five, yes FIVE opulent levels.Immerse yourself in the privacy that this luxurious property offers, where you can reside away from the public gaze should you so desire. Read a book, write a song, work from home, entertain friends and family, spend time with your loved ones, or just sit and watch the world go by against the backdrop of stunning sunrises and sunsets. While impressive in its own right, the property facade provides the utmost privacy and no indication of the grandeur that lies within.The double timber doors of the entrance portico open to reveal the formal entry complete with highly polished pitched timber ceiling, stone columns, babbling water features and a compact putting green where avid golfers can hone their skills.Step into the foyer and the powder room, water feature, one set of stairs leading up and one leading down provide the first indication that this property is something distinctively different.Ascending the stairs puts you at the large office that in turn gives way to the expansive split-level lounge, dining and kitchen space where timber and stone again feature prominently. The gourmet kitchen is an entertainer's delight and comes complete with marble benchtops, ample storage and all the modern conveniences you would expect. All rooms on this level open onto a deep partly covered balcony - one of four interconnected balconies/decks that provide for captivating views.Descend the stairs off the foyer and you arrive at the opulent master suite that encompasses the entire floor and includes its own pool with cascading waterfall. A light-filled lounge area prefaces the oversized master bedroom that opens onto an equally impressive balcony. Add the large walk-in wardrobe, fully tiled bathroom featuring twin shower heads, spa bath and timber lined ceiling, two additional powder rooms and you could be excused for not wanting to leave.Family and friends are equally indulged across the lower two levels; the first comprising a pair of king-sized bedroom and ensuite combinations and the ground level consisting of a fully self-contained apartment complete with kitchen, direct pool access and private entry from the road if and as required.The ground level is also the domain of the massive main pool and entertaining area from where the stateliness of the imposing home can be fully appreciated. Fringed by lush gardens and swaying palms, the pool's timber sundeck and shaded artificial turf area capture the essence of Port Douglas' enviable tropical climate in which you can fully immerse yourself.And just when you thought this property could not possibly be more impressive, an intriguing spiral staircase places you at the piece de resistance - the lofty top level cocktail deck with its breathtaking 180-degree views taking in the glistening Coral Sea, Four Mile Beach, the rainforest-clad Cassowary Ranges, Mount Demi, Devil's Thumb and the masts of the yachts moored in the Crystalbrook Marina. A masterful combination of design, space and construction, 57 Murphy Street is a truly stunning residence that you can make your home or private getaway, all within mere steps of the village centre and the warm waters of Four Mile Beach.Properties such as this are something of a rarity in the current market, so for all the details or to request an exclusive inspection, contact Shane on 0409 417 316 or swight.portdouglas@ljhooker.com.au.
