5 The Pinnacle, Bilgola Plateau NSW 2107

Commanding one of the most spectacular panoramas across Avalon Beach and Bangalley Headland, 'The Pinnacle' is aptly named; created by renowned local architect Richard Cole to bask in a stunning north aspect, its eco-friendly design is at once earthy, simple and luxurious. The innovative use of textural forms and reclaimed materials delivers a singularly imaginative residence of immense warmth and style, set across a perfectly private 1,164sqm site (approx). Offering glass wrapped living spaces on each of its three floors, the residence is comprised of a series of fluid living zones all visually connected, yet providing discreet and private areas for family and guests. Sun soaked terraces extend from each floor, while the mosaic tiled heated pool, Jacuzzi and a second ground level lounge provide sophisticated entertaining options. The designer Corian island kitchen is a true showstopper, as is the indulgent top floor master retreat; it features a private deck, dressing room with customised joinery and a deluxe ensuite, while a second master suite is ideal as luxurious guest accommodation. Recycled tallowood floorboards are found in the lounge areas, while polished concrete floors are hydronically heated throughout much of the residence. A few notable highlights include extensive custom joinery, gas fireplace, guest powder room, 6KV solar panels & battery storage, rainwater storage tanks, double garage with internal access plus a freestanding single garage. Positioned at the end of a private cul-de-sac bordering reserve parkland, this home is a flawless example of contemporary Australian architecture in an unrivalled coastal setting.
