8 Darwalla Avenue, Currumbin QLD 4223

The Dunes is 1 of only 8 absolute beachfront homes in Currumbin and designed to provide the ultimate beachfront lifestyle. Local award-winning architects Studio Workshop have gone above and beyond in a no-expense-spared quest to deliver unequivocally one of The Southern Gold Coast's finest luxury lifestyle 703m2 residences located in an exclusive cul-de-sac adjoining the pristine sands of Currumbin Beach. Styled by Dizain Interiors and crafted by New Horizon Homes from raw ironbark timber and a vase variety of well-acquired aged hardwood, off-form concrete and extensive walls of retractable glass, the home flows across three streamlined levels with seamlessly integrated indoor/outdoor spaces embracing breathtaking panoramic views over the dunes and beach to the surf and ocean's horizon.

A striking façade using a raw palette of materials framed by neighbouring palms arouses expectations. Open the bespoke hardwood statement door and the reasons become obvious. The residence indulges definitive avant-garde flair, and this is the beachfront hallway to heaven perfectly framed by your own indoor pandanus tectorius and greenery that's striving throughout the internal void.

Extensive use of glass, via galleries of panes, banks of louvers, disappearing doors, lofty ceiling heights, multiple open voids, also pops of colourful art works on textured walls, maximise natural light. It seemingly dances on endless polished concrete flooring and melds effortlessly with the alfresco nucleus of the residence.

Optimising the perfect South-Easterly aspect and taking sunny centre stage is an extraordinary front yard, open to the sky and in the forefront of the sandy dunes and ocean. The polished concrete from indoors blends with the travertine around the pearlescent-shimmering 12m fully tiled pool, the greyed off timber boundary decking, facades and statement battens draw the eye directly towards the coastline.

Naturally, edgy design functionality continues in the kitchen with the use of recycled hardwood timber bench tops, the very latest in high-end SMEG appliances including the dual retro oven range with induction hob, Zip Tap Hydrotap Celsius all-in-one sink tap, integrated fridge & dishwasher and a Vintec beverage fridge. For the entertainers there's a servery window to accommodate for your guests while they're poolside or relaxing in the alfresco area. Above the custom wide island bench/breakfast bar that commands centre stage upon entry that's a family favourite for all is a streamline bespoke pendant that's not too intrusive.
On the upper floor is the major master suite. It opens out to the ocean with its own private breakfast bar and balcony with a pilates reformer on standby. Yet every inch of this suite internally or externally is graced with never repeated views of the dunes and the Pacific Ocean towards Rainbow Bay through a centrepiece window complimented by side louvers. It wouldn't be a master without a walk-in fashionista-style robe with an impressive ensuite bathroom mirrored wall, and long recycled timber vanity unit. All this however is simply out done by the relaxation station made up of an oversized bath with breathtaking ocean views that instantly overcomes you with a calm feeling as though you're floating on top of the sand dunes with the ocean in the background.
The remainder of the upper floor is shared with voids and is full of life with greenery and complimented with skylights and a custom glass fixed panel that's forms the ceiling over the pandanus tree garden adjacent to the down stairs study area. This allows an abundance of natural light yet also offers hints of pastel blues from the sky and moving clouds above. A second living space over looking the pool and ocean shares the balcony as a retreat-style space that's currently used for pilates & yoga. On the Northern side of the upper floor you'll find two oversized bedrooms and a free flowing laundry that's thoughtfully been placed to capture views and in the centre of the home.

Down in the basement is a mega media function room with space for your private gymnasium. Its a games area with ample of room for an infrared sauna and has a purpose-built wine storage facility, which could easily be converted to a cellar. There is a bamboo garden, which travels up through the void that also doubles as your lift provision to service all levels. If you're a car enthusiast there is allocation for 4 vehicles with the ability to make it 6 if a non-loadbearing wall was removed.
