This stunning two-story masterpiece seamlessly blends modern industrial design with contemporary elements, tied together by natural finishes, including Travertine, solid Blackbutt flooring, and custom-made timber joinery. Designed by eminent architects Hoffman & Brown and built by Gransden Construction, this bespoke residence is undoubtedly one of the finest modernist-inspired homes in the area.

Upon entry, you'll be struck by expansive walls of glass that make up the standout design feature of the home - an external, open-air light well the entire height of the home, including down to the basement level, with a feature Koi pond at the bottom. Alongside, the impressive Blackbutt and brushed steel staircase is a feature in itself, linking the main living and accommodation level to the undercroft below.

The ground floor offers spacious and versatile living areas with soaring 3.8m Shadowline ceilings, three generously sized bedrooms, three resort-style bathrooms, and a jaw-dropping open-plan living and dining area that will impress career entertainers!

The main bedroom suite is a generous bedroom with access to the Travertine-tiled front terrace, a walk-in dressing room, and a luxe ensuite with underfloor heating, a bath, and towel rails.

The two spacious secondary bedrooms with built-in robes and a shared bathroom are both king sized and enjoy abundant natural light and ventilation.

The kitchen will effortlessly cater for your all-season soirees, equipped with sweeping stone benches, ample storage, and top-of-the-line appliances, including a Miele induction cooktop, Neff ovens, Liebherr fridge/freezer, Fisher + Paykel dish drawers, and a Hydro Ziptap.

Electric louvre windows and ceiling fans circulate the fresh river breezes through the home. Double-glazed glass stacking doors slide back to seamlessly integrate this area with the alfresco terrace, complete with a retractable awning and a full outdoor kitchen. Easy-care, professionally landscaped gardens frame the huge solar-heated pool, where you'll spend hours of fun many months of the year.

Descend to the undercroft level via the sun-drenched staircase or the Kone elevator, where a massive, customised home office is fitted with built-in jarrah cabinetry. This versatile space will easily lend itself to many alternate uses, including a fourth bedroom, library or extra activity. The nearby full bathroom, kitchenette, and access to the garage and lift would also suit inter-generational living arrangements.

Additional features included for your ultimate comfort and liveability include ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning, security, a home automation system, Cat 6 wiring, instantaneous gas hot water, insulated walls and ceilings, and 4kW solar panels - also contributing to its 6-star energy rating.
