1 Baleen Court, Encounter Bay SA 5211

Crafted by renowned designer, Simon Martin, the essence of this home is reflective of contemporary Australian coastal themes. Whilst embodying a simplicity, it is beautiful as it is timeless in its design; encompassing large overhangs and raked ceilings with the use of modern building materials. It truly is within the style of homes easily found in Byron Bay or perhaps Palm Cove; with the influences of Simons architectural work in northern Queensland and love for old Queenslanders and coastal living.

Designed and built for the current owners as their beach side retreat, the home sits comfortably in an elevated location overlooking a reserve and affording breathtaking coastal views, extending from the Bluff and beyond to the Coorong on the horizon.

The home abounds with natural light and strategic placement of windows to capture coastal views and glimpses of gardens themed with plantings which both complement the home and allow the owners their extensive travels.

The master bedroom on the upper level, is cleverly designed with double bi - fold doors to easily become part of the expansive open living area, creating a delightful personal living space to capture the offered views, and privacy to shut away when entertaining family and guests.

The living area encompassing the kitchen and dining with vaulted ceiling and trapeze lights flows on to the entertaining deck with sunsets to soak in during the summer months. And to ensure comfort year round, there is a retractable awning and side blinds for use if there is a chill in the breeze during late autumn.

The upper level includes a 2nd bedroom come study, full bathroom / en-suite and walk-in robe for the master bedroom and a separate toilet/basin for guests.

The lower level of two additional double bedrooms, full bathroom/laundry has an additional expansive sitting room. With access to the lower patio area allowing guest their own space and privacy to come and go, perhaps to enjoy the walk to the beach and scenic waterfront for coffee or a meal at near-by Whalers Inn.
