A passion for perfection has driven the beautifully conceived design of this serene, elegant home - a modern expression of the French provincial style in an exclusive riverside enclave, just 150 metres to the river. The textures of travertine stone, bespoke painted cabinetry, fine plasterwork, subtle wallpapers, carefully chosen light fittings and raw silk drapes create an atmosphere of quiet refinement. This is an expansive family home with four living areas, alfresco living set amongst an exquisite courtyard garden, and a long upstairs terrace for taking in the water views.
The low stone and wrought iron wall encloses perfectly landscaped front gardens filled with roses, where a long pond runs along the travertine veranda - a lovely space to sit and take in the tranquillity of the river at the bottom of the street.
Through the limestone arches, grand timber and iron doors open to the foyer, leading to a delightful study with the fine built-in cabinetwork found throughout the home.
Beyond is the romantic master suite with its own sitting room, French doors to the veranda, walk-in-robe, chandelier and an exquisite bathroom of travertine, terrazzo, caesarstone and painted timber, including a finely detailed custom-designed stone topped vanity, cast iron bath and a stone seat in the shower - all created with the attention to detail that makes this home one for the discerning buyer.
Down the hallway, past a large powder room and dream laundry with built in hanging rack and ironing system, the home opens to a series of living, dining and entertaining areas with painted timber and glass concertina doors for complete flexibility in secluding or opening up the spaces.
There's a theatre room, living room with exposed timber beams and gas log fire, dining room and graceful French provincial style kitchen with butler's pantry and a big Belling range in traditional cream and black.
The kitchen and living spaces open to a superb outdoor area for dining and lounging, where you'll find an outdoor kitchen with exceptional top of the range built-in barbecue, temperature-controlled wine storage, wall fountain and immaculate courtyard gardens filled with Mediterranean plantings.
Downstairs is a limestone-walled den with built-in bar, and upstairs is another living room with bar, opening to the upstairs travertine terrace and river vista.
Two of the three generously proportioned elegant upstairs bedrooms have French doors to the terrace, and the family bathroom with its absolutely magical mother of pearl mosaic, chandelier lighting, double vanity and separate toilet is simply gorgeous.
Built as the owners' forever home, it is extremely rare to find a home of this exquisite hand selected detail, thoughtful layout and exceptional quality - perfectly designed, perfectly beautiful and perfectly located by the river.
