Capturing timeless architectural lines and spectacular mid-century modern architecture, this lifestyle sanctuary with its unique design, openness and a focus on family & friends is offered for sale for the very first time. Only metres to the back beach, National Park and Portsea’s spectacular new Surf Life Saving Club, this much loved family retreat has been enjoyed by many who have visited for social events, leaving with a lasting impression of this great entertainer and beautiful private garden surroundings. Bringing to life the owner’s vision on the foot of the Portsea sand dunes, architect Robert Watson, decorated interior design director Sonia Simpfendorfer of Nexus Designs and coastal landscape architect guru Fiona Brockhoff brought together their creative minds to produce one of the area’s most architecturally unique and relaxing beach homes. Enjoying the 2,132 sqm allotment that encompasses a synthetic grass N/S tennis court and sleek plunge spa pool, seamless indoor-to-outdoor overflow entertaining extends from the expansive recycled timber decks through to the fabulous pillar-less main living pavilion, sparing no expense in high-quality construction and finishes with towering ceilings and floor to ceiling glass throughout the house. The grand living area offers exceptional separation from the three bedroom accommodation and is framed by crafted timber walkways that terrace the home and guide you throughout a magical signature Brockhoff fairyland garden landscape. The open plan design brilliantly caters for large scale entertaining with gourmet kitchen and dining areas that transition effortlessly to the northern terrace. Equally, the renowned experimental design provides a space that can be enjoyed in isolation and coziness in front of the open fire. The master bedroom suite provides its own elevated retreat, while two guest bedrooms and bathroom both provide convenient come and go external access. Ample room allows the ability to increase bedroom accommodation if required (STCA). A long list of impressive features includes saltwater plunge spa pool, built-in BBQ, 400-bottle wine cellar, Miele appliances, ducted air conditioning and heating throughout, security system, connection to mains sewerage, extensive storage and three car garaging.
