Here is a rare opportunity to purchase this fantastic beachfront property designed by award winning architect John Mainwaring. The Kelly Residence' features in Robyn Beaver's 2006 publication of 100 Top Houses from Down Under'. Situated on a flat 686m2 block in a quiet street, the house is set back from the road and presents the ultimate lifestyle with direct access to walking and cycling paths and only 50m to the pristine beach of Casuarina.

Contemporary in design, the house is a great example of Mainwaring's use of spatial dynamics and natural light and evokes beachside living. There is a composite of varying materials with timber and polished concrete flooring and extensive use of aluminum and glass louvres, superb for cross ventilation. Polycarbonate sheeting is also utilised to maximise light and privacy.

The lower level has beautiful polished concrete floors, a second living area, two more bedrooms and bathroom and another covered deck. The home also boasts a double carport with storage cupboards.

The design of the house responds to this unique coastal environment and it's natural attributes with native landscaping and outdoor shower.
