A Mark Drury architectural masterpiece of light and space, 21 Grange Avenue has been designed to take full advantage of its stunning position on the edge of the River Derwent.
Positioned on the headland of this exclusive street, the home uses every inch of the 703 sqm block to maximise its northern orientation and incredible views. Built in 2004, the soaring glazing of the avant-garde design infuses the home with the breathtaking panorama of river and sky. Entire panels of glass slide back, completely opening up the two sides of the home to the waterfront decks, the divergent angles creating a seamless transition between inside and out.
The neutral palette, accentuated by subtle greys and warm timber finishes, creates a backdrop that further accentuates the views that dominate nearly every room. The kitchen is cleverly designed to have a subtle presence in the main living area, the bespoke timber island bench an attractive yet highly functional feature, while a walk-in pantry and fridge are discretely positioned behind. Outside on the deck, a stainless steel bench-top provides an outdoor kitchen for easy entertaining.
The open plan of the ground floor is skillfully divided into separate areas, maintaining the flow of space as well as the views to each room. The dining room is an intimate space behind the kitchen, looking over a garden courtyard. A carpeted lounge is separated from the main living space by sliding doors, which can completely retract, or be closed for privacy and comfort. Two bedrooms on this level look over the river, open onto the deck, and have their own en suite.
A contemporary timber staircase leads to the parent’s retreat on the first floor. Also serviced by a lift, this area is a complete haven, with private living area, en suite and roof-top balcony. The panoramic views continue in the master bedroom, with windows that slide back to completely open up the room to the outside.
On the lower ground floor is a large, self-contained unit. With wooden floors, white gloss kitchen and cabinetry, and sliding doors to the deck, the unit could be guest accommodation or flexible accommodation options for a large family. From this ground-level deck, stairs lead down to the waterfront.
Gas-ducted heating ensures complete comfort year-round, and a C-Bus system supports extensive outdoor lighting and electronics throughout the home. This exclusive offering is a truly luxurious home created with stunning design, sumptuous comfort, and relaxing lifestyle in mind.
