Description
Discreet in its street presence yet architecturally compelling within, this thoughtfully designed, Abodo clad residence delivers a refined coastal lifestyle just moments from the shoreline offering a barefoot stroll to the beach.
Designed by Urban Function and completed in 2024 by local company Built, the 276sqm approx. home reflects a considered approach to modern living, where form, function and flexibility are seamlessly aligned. Clean architectural lines are softened by a cohesive interior palette, with engineered oak flooring, in built joinery and wool carpet creating a sense of understated warmth.
At its heart, open-plan living unfolds with ease, framed by large areas of glazing that extend to substantial wrap-around decking and a flat, family-friendly lawn. The connection between indoors and out is effortless, offering spaces suited to both relaxed entertaining and everyday living.
Set on a generous 715sqm section, this home enjoys plentiful sun and delivers effortless modern living. At its heart, a light-filled open plan living and dining zone is anchored by a custom made kitchen, where a spacious island, beautifully crafted joinery, premium tapware and hardware, Miele double ovens and dishwasher, plus a striking full-width picture window combine to create a true focal point.
Complementing this is a well-appointed butler's pantry, offering abundant bench space, an additional sink, and a wine fridge - perfect for seamless entertaining and everyday practicality.
A series of well-considered living zones, including a separate media room with feature gas fire, provide both scale and separation, while a dedicated study supports work-from-home flexibility.
Accommodation is generous, offering four double bedrooms, including a well-appointed primary suite complete with its own ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. Each bedroom also enjoys direct outdoor access, creating a seamless connection to the surrounding spaces.
Above, a loft-style living space with skylights and ducted heating offers versatility as a teenagers' retreat, guest space or future conversion, with plumbing already in place.
Ducted heating, electric hot water, pre-wiring for solar panels, an internal-access carpeted double garage with loft storage, and secure gated parking cater to everyday comfort and practicality.
With a hot water outdoor shower and easy access to the beach, the home is well attuned to its coastal setting.
A residence balancing design integrity with comfort, suited to families, professionals or those seeking a home without compromise.
