Timeless Coastal Elegance
A masterclass in architectural brilliance beckons in the form of this exquisitely-renovated 4 bedroom 4 bathroom two-storey home with a separate rear studio.
Originally built in the early-1970s and perched on a vast elevated block, the property is perfectly oriented to capture northern sunlight and faces the lush Kapinara Primary School grounds across the road, within a quiet and leafy locale.
This unique home, designed by renowned architect David Hartree, melds timeless charm with contemporary sophistication, standing as a beacon of coastal elegance and innovative design - at the same time promising unparalleled comfort and breathtaking ocean views from both of its levels.
A secure gated entrance to the residence reveals the most tranquil of front gardens, where a lovely Koi pond adds to the serenity that is felt almost immediately. Overlooking it all is a large entertainment deck with its own reflection pond, wraparound access to the front balcony terrace (with an aspect over the school) and plenty of space to sit and relax, amidst the surrounding treetops.
The statement entry foyer sets the scene for the excellence that lies within. Beyond it, a spacious open-plan family, dining and kitchen area boasts a unique combination of durable quartzite bench tops and luxe travertine finishes, a breakfast bar, an integrated Liebherr fridge/freezer combination, a Bosch range hood, a Miele five-burner gas cooktop, double Bosch ovens and an integrated Bosch dishwasher.
At the front of the house, a huge front lounge/living room enjoys a tree-lined sea vista from within, as well as a gas log fireplace with classy travertine finishes to keep with theme. There is custom built-in storage here too, as well as under-stair storage and a connecting study - or storeroom - that is brilliant in its versatility.
Off the foyer, a generous second bedroom has endless built-in-wardrobe storage, plus a fully-tiled dual-vanity luxury ensuite bathroom that is ideal for guests.
With its epic proportions, the third bedroom (with built-in robes) is privately located in its own wing of the house and allows for separation to have its own computer nook or mini-lounge area. It all sits opposite a fully-tiled third bathroom and a fully-tiled powder room that are separate from, yet adjacent to, one another.
The laundry off the family room is graced by sleek stone bench tops and an over-sized walk-in linen press. For floor-plan functionality, it sits right away from any of the other bedrooms or wet areas.
Double doors from the main living zone extend entertaining out to a secluded backyard setting with lawn, an edible vegetable garden, a covered pergola/patio for those special occasions and a shimmering below-ground solar-heated swimming pool - neighboured by a raised poolside deck.
