Lifestyle - Against a backdrop of unsurpassed natural beauty, this extraordinary residence can be considered, quite simply, a masterwork of effortless function and creative inspiration. Making its market debut after an 18-year genesis, this magnificent owner-built home fuses statement architectural materials including WA limestone and solid reclaimed ironbark, a symbiotic network of classically-scaled interiors, and a glamorous expanse of in-outdoor entertaining on over 5,300sqm of National Park-adjacent grounds. Boasting exquisite quiet and privacy, the property nestles majestically in the escarpment foothills yet is just a leisurely stroll down the hill to Thirroul's vibrant surfside hub of beaches, shops and restaurants, to represent a lifestyle destination of ultimate allure.
Accommodation - Setting the scene, an enchanting entrance follows a suspended sandstone bridge through an internal courtyard and across tranquil ponds. Intuitively designed for family luxury, an array of living areas open on to the wraparound deck with heated saltwater pool, entertaining cabana and hot/cold water outdoor shower. Bedrooms are equally impressive: the mammoth master suite showcases a private courtyard, spacious retreat with 3-metre projector, and bespoke wall-to-wall wardrobes with automatic roller doors. Located in a separate wing, children's accommodation comprises a theatre/rumpus room, three deluxe-sized bedrooms and a unique double bathroom, and adjoins a spectacular fully-fenced playground fitted with commercial-grade play equipment. A separate loft is accessed via imported German ladder and offers additional retreat, bedroom or home office utility.
Features - Centrally appointed to serve the grandly proportioned floor plan with ease, the utterly charismatic kitchen reveals spotted gum floors, portable island with granite worktop, new Miele appliances and solid timber cupboards. Underfloor heating through living areas, an open wood-burning fireplace, decadent limestone bathrooms and custom joinery throughout speak to the fundamental glamour of this remarkable home, while extravagant storage solutions, external sensor lights and CCTV security enhance ultra-contemporary cred. Completing this blue-chip lifestyle package, an electric-gated drive leads to the two-car garage and ten-car covered parking area, and beyond to the rolling lawns with private bore and spring, full-sized tennis court and home gym/clubhouse.
