There are homes you admire in photographs, and then there are homes that simply cannot be understood until you stand inside them. 38 Tasman Drive is one of those homes.
Commanding an extraordinary corner position on the high side of one of Shell Cove's most impressive streets, this architect-designed residence captures a breathtaking panorama across the coastline, ocean and beyond. The outlook is remarkable, but what makes this home truly special is the way the architecture has been designed around it.
Wake to the ocean from your bedroom. Watch the changing colours of the coastline from the living areas. Work from home with an outlook that makes it difficult to call it work. Step onto the balcony and simply stop for a moment - because this is where you begin to appreciate just how spectacular the position really is.
Photos will capture glimpses of it. Only an inspection will reveal the magnitude of the views and the exceptional presentation of this once-in-a-lifetime home.
From the moment you arrive, there is a sense that this residence is something different. Architecturally designed to maximise its elevated position, natural light and incredible outlook, the home unfolds across generous spaces where soaring perspectives, beautiful finishes and carefully considered details create an atmosphere of understated luxury.
Five bedrooms provide exceptional accommodation for family and guests, complemented by two beautifully appointed bathrooms, 2 extra toilets and a dedicated home office. Two separate living areas allow family life to flow effortlessly, whether gathering together, entertaining friends or simply finding a quiet place to retreat and enjoy the view.
At the heart of the residence, indoor and outdoor living become one.
Designed for those who love to entertain, the home opens to an extraordinary outdoor domain where privacy and resort-style living come together. The sparkling swimming pool feels completely removed from the world around you, while the fully enclosed undercover entertaining area and complete outdoor kitchen create a genuine extension of the home.
Summer lunches that stretch into the evening. Drinks by the pool. Long dinners with friends. Family celebrations. Quiet Sunday afternoons. This is a space designed not simply to impress, but to be lived in and enjoyed.
Generous in scale and positioned to take full advantage of the home's elevated setting, it provides a front-row seat to an ever-changing landscape. Morning light over the ocean, dramatic skies rolling along the coast and evenings watching the lights begin to sparkle below - the view becomes part of everyday life here.
The oversized double garage provides excellent accommodation for vehicles together with valuable workshop and storage space, while the home's corner position enhances its sense of openness, light and privacy.
Yet despite its impressive proportions and architectural presence, there is a warmth to this home that photographs alone cannot communicate. Every space has been beautifully maintained and presented, creating a residence that feels as remarkable to live in as it is to look at.
The property is registered with Airbnb and an existing profile and setup. It can be leased between $1000-1500 per night and there is a current DA for a one bedroom fully self contained unit with separate access. The earning potential on this property is enormous.
And perhaps that is the greatest luxury of 38 Tasman Drive.
It isn't simply the five bedrooms. It isn't simply the pool. It isn't simply the architecture.
It's waking up every morning and seeing the ocean.
It's entertaining family and friends against a backdrop that never gets old.
It's standing on the balcony and realising that very few homes will ever offer you this combination of position, privacy, space and extraordinary coastal views.
38 Tasman Drive deserves to be experienced.
