Completely remodelled inside and out, this contemporary, coastal inspired home pays homage to classic Cape Cod design and now offers the ultimate in timeless luxury and comfortable family living. Presenting "as new" throughout, this iconic double storey property has been meticulously renovated throughout, the entire floorplan redesigned for modern needs and every surface and finish carefully selected to breath new life into the original architecture.
Taking inspiration from traditional Cape Cod style, the North American connection does not end there. 12 Caithness Road is previously the home of Australian physicist, Brian John O'Brien, a distinguished space scientist who instigated experiments on several Apollo missions , a legacy that the current owners respectfully referenced in the vintage style star shaped tiles throughout the property.
From the gated entrance, visitors are welcomed by a charming Tristan Pierce designed formal garden, a central garden path flanked by crepe myrtle trees, an expanse of lawn and ornamental pears. The stylish entrance offers a glimpse of the relaxed coastal vibe inside, including feature tiled flooring, lofty ceilings, wainscoting and a timber framed staircase.
To the left is an inviting open-plan living area, bathed in natural light, the warmth of European Oak timber flooring and a gas fireplace with stone surround. A welcoming central area for both residents and guests to enjoy, this delightful room adjoins the spacious dining room and kitchen areas, which flows seamlessly to the outdoor deck, pool and garden beyond.
Keen chefs will love the well-appointed kitchen which pairs extensive stone benchtops, a wide island bench, two ovens, a walk-in pantry and quality appliances. A beautiful room filled with stunning light overlooking the pool and gardens, glass louvres open from the kitchen to allow for lovely cross breezes, while bi-fold servery windows spill open to an integrated outdoor bar, the perfect addition to the home's large alfresco entertaining zone.
From the dining room, the living zones are further extended through stacking sliding doors to the timber deck and vine-topped pergola. Providing an enhanced living experience over the summer months, the landscaped garden offers the ultimate entertaining experience for family and friends, be it alfresco dining, a glass of wine at the bar, or kids' birthday parties in the large heated pool and adjacent lawn area.
The main bedroom at the rear of the home boasts built-in storage, large walk-in robes, ensuite and sliding doors to the garden while another generous-sized bedroom on the ground floor boasts a stunning bay window and ensuite. Upstairs are three further bedrooms, (one currently used as an activity space), plus a useful study area at the top of the stair landing.
