Welcome to 10 Jarda St, Smithfield, a true architectural masterpiece designed by the renowned Chris Van Dyke. This iconic pole home, one of the original in Cairns, offers an exquisite blend of character and modern luxury, making it an idyllic retreat for those seeking a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Perched on an elevated 1,300m² block in a peaceful cul-de-sac, this home is surrounded by breathtaking panoramic ocean views that stretch from Trinity Beach to False Cape. On clear days, you can even see the distant beauty of Green Island. The home's Scandinavian-inspired renovation seamlessly integrates contemporary comforts with the warmth of its original design. Beautiful timber floors and exposed timber features run throughout the property, creating a timeless elegance that is both inviting and sophisticated.
The home is thoughtfully designed over two levels, with cathedral ceilings enhancing the sense of space and openness. Entertaining is a dream, with expansive decks on both levels that capture the cooling sea breezes, allowing you to enjoy the stunning views and tropical climate to the fullest. The tropical inground pool, surrounded by timber decking, is the perfect oasis for relaxation, with recent upgrades ensuring its pristine condition.
Upon entering the upper level, you are greeted by an open-plan living and dining area that exudes style and comfort. The fully renovated kitchen, featuring a farmhouse sink, a butler's pantry with a wine fridge, and a timber bench/bar, is a chef's delight. Large windows open directly onto the deck, making it easy to entertain guests while enjoying the ocean vistas. The master suite on this level is a luxurious retreat, with direct access to the deck, offering unparalleled views. The ensuite is a spa-like sanctuary, complete with a bath overlooking the ocean, a double shower with rainfall showerheads, and a wall of marble tiles. A spacious, modern walk-in wardrobe with integrated lighting adds to the opulence, while the convenience of a built-in washer and dryer ensures that the upper level can function as a self-contained space.
Downstairs, the home continues to impress with three generously sized bedrooms, one of which features its own ensuite and walk-in robe. The versatile rumpus room provides additional living space, while the kitchenette/bar area, with its stunning timber bench sourced from the Tablelands, offers a perfect spot for casual gatherings. This level is designed for dual living, with its own separate entrance, making it ideal for extended family or guests. The lower level also includes a garage/workshop with separate access, adding to the home's practicality.
The property extends beyond the living spaces, with access to your own tropical orchard where you can enjoy fresh bananas, pawpaws, mangoes, and limes straight from the garden. Despite the home’s grandeur, it is surprisingly easy to maintain, with routine termite treatments and monthly pool servicing ensuring everything remains in top condition.
Situated in a prime location, this home offers the best of both worlds – tranquillity and convenience. It is nestled on a quiet street with no through traffic, yet is within walking distance to James Cook University and just minutes from Smithfield Shopping Centre. The Northern Beaches are a mere 10 minutes away, and the proximity to Smithfield Mountain Bike Track, Kuranda/Tablelands, and Port Douglas makes it an ideal base for exploring the region. The property is comfortably positioned outside of flood zones.
10 Jarda St is more than just a home; it is a lifestyle. This iconic property, with its stunning views, luxurious finishes, and thoughtful design, offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Cairns’ architectural history. Don’t miss your chance to experience the epitome of chic living in this magnificent retreat.
