Last Listing description (September 2018)
Open the enormous timber front door to this contemporary Sapphire Beach home and you're sure to be stunned about its generous size: a wide entry hall leads to substantial open plan living rooms and the stylish kitchen, flowing seamlessly out to the covered entertaining deck and pool area beyond.
A builder's own home, this is a property where quality extras and attention to detail have been paramount. From the 2.7 metre ceilings with three-step cornice to the in-ground saltwater pool with Travertine stone surrounds, designed to be visible from the kitchen and living spaces - the hub of the home.
Other signature features include the two in-built study zones that both have 20mm stone bench tops, wall hung cabinetry and data points, and the bench seat off the kitchen with a handy book case niche. Invite guests to relax with a magazine while you cook up a storm or take time out and enjoy this sunny and light-filled nook yourself while you watch the kids play in the pool!
The stylish galley kitchen has 40mm stone benchtops, there's ample drawers and overhead cupboards and plenty of room to seat the kids at bar stools for breakfast. Quality appliances include a 900mm wide Bosch oven and gas five burner cook top. The adjoining walk-in-pantry also has shelving, drawers, a stone benchtop plus power point for the kettle and toaster.
The family living room, which connects to the kitchen and flows out to the covered deck and the pool, will easily fit the kind of oversized furniture that well suits this contemporary home design. The big bonus is there's another significant, light-filled living area beyond this room, one that again connects to the outdoors and the back lawn. (Yes, there's enough room for a small pooch but the mowing will still be a cinch).
Keep the double doors between the living rooms open and watch the kids do their homework or close when you're entertaining, or they have friends over - it's great to be able to separate these big spaces.
Those with kids will love the fact this living room connects with their bedroom wing, with two great sized bedrooms and main bathroom.
The master bedroom zone plus the fourth bedroom (or home office) are located in a different wing of the home, providing peace and quiet for the adults of the house. A hallway offers further privacy to the master, which has a walk-in-robe and stunning ensuite accessed through double doors. The wall hung double vanity obscures the shower at one end and the WC at the other, offering privacy and an efficient use of space.
Storage is at a premium in this house: the over-sized double garage with high ceilings also has a big storage cupboard, along with hooks to wall mount the fishing rods. Linen and laundry storage is also ample, so you won't have any excuse to have a cluttered home!
In terms of the floor plan this is a home for families, entertainers and downsizers who still want to host the extended family at Christmas. Former city dwellers who are sea changing for retirement will also have ample room for friends to stay. There's even an extra powder room off the entry hall!
Built in 2015, this as new home has the benefit of established contemporary plantings, chosen to complement the home design.
Access from nearby Ivory Circuit takes you to a walkway that leads through bush to Beachstone Caf. Order a coffee or Sunday breakfast and watch the kids play at the park, during weekday afternoons the local children have this cool space pretty much to themselves.
Go for a cycle or stroll down to the beach to de-stress after a busy day and wash the sand off at home under your outdoor hot and cold shower. Set up the shampoo and conditioner here for the kids after they've spent the afternoon in the pool.
The owners have enjoyed the fact the home is light-filled yet warm in the cooler months, thanks to its orientation on the block and insulation.
Another memorable factor has been how the home functions for families, everyone has their own space and the planned local neighbourhood means there's plenty of opportunities for cycling, scooter rides and walks down to the beach. The school bus also picks up kids for local schools and the primary school zoning is for popular Kororo Public School.
Close enough to Coffs Harbour (approximately 12kms) for convenience but far enough away to feel like a sanctuary, the area is also about 5kms from Moonee Beach Tavern, the local swimming school and the shops at Moonee Marketplace.
