'In all my years of real estate this has to be one of the most incredible places I've had the privilege to see. Iconic and incredible. 360 degrees of windows, 360 degrees of balcony, 360 degrees of unbelievable views. Literally the entire top floor....and it has such a feeling of freedom, your private world of understated luxury. Never seen anything like it.' - Anthony Toop
Upon entering via a private residential elevator you are welcomed into this magnificent light soaked residence. Enveloped by windows, the home s custom detailing accentuates the graceful layout of this impressive home. The TV viewing area leads out to the balcony, with pebble feature flooring. The balcony envelopes the residence, and boasts multiple access points. Follow the balcony around to gaze at the fully exploited views of Adelaide and the beach due to the seaside locality of this remarkable home. A home as unique as this will of course have a unique floorplan. The circular aspect of the home allows the open plan layout to have a real sense of flow, yet each area has its own distinct feel with the use of subtle interior design tricks. As you continue from the TV viewing area to the designated sitting and dining areas, the view follows, thanks to the floor to ceiling windows. Accessible from this area is the chicly concealed full sized Vintec, temperature controlled wine fridges (three in total) and separate bar fridge as well as an inbuilt Miele coffee machine. The gourmet kitchen is a highlight, slightly raised in height to differentiate the space. A Teppanyaki bar adds to the magnificence. Seating a maximum of twelve, this area also doubles as a dining table with lazy suzan centerpiece. The kitchen features Miele microwave/grill and oven, Gaggenau suite including induction and standard cooktops, char-grill plate, steamer and deep fryer. A Qasair induction and an integrated Miele dishwasher complete the kitchen experience. The pantry can be found in the circular center core of the home just two steps from the cooking bench!
The spaciously lavish master suite offers separate dressing area and flows through to an extravagant ensuite. The ensuite is fully tiled with Carrara marble. A dual shower is luxurious one with waterfall shower head, the other with free standing multi jet configuration. The dual vanity is flanked by wall to ceiling mirror. The spa bath looks directly to views of Glenelg and beyond. An additional water store in the roof ensures ample shower pressure. The second bedroom features entertainment system and concealed study area. The bedhead serves a dual purpose, with its rear functioning as cupboard space in the walk through robe. The fully tiled marble ensuite features dual vanity, glass shower with recessed shelving, and spa bath offering sensational views. Both bedroom areas close off via bifold screen doors for privacy.
The fully tiled laundry features Milele washing machine and dryer. Intelligently designed, the laundry features two concealed laundry baskets and a Robin Hood ironing nook. The central core of the home is well designed with separate storage nooks and stair access. It seems as though there is a storage space for everything including a fully tiled utility room with deep set basin and separate hidden fuse box area. Cleverly, as the core of the home is circular, there are views to be seen as you follow the home around.
The home s CBus system controls all lighting, alarm, sound system and curtains. A video intercom to the entrance foyer allows lift access. Downstairs the home has access to a double garage, and secure visitors parking. The garage has mezzanine storage space and shelving.
