Last Listing description (December 2019)
Showcasing stunning architectural design by Urban Habitats, here's a home that wears its contemporary heart, if not on its sleeve than behind its impeccable triple stone facade. Within strides of the beach and two of the area's top schools, Somerton Park never fails to dish up something special.
Completed in 2016, the original footprint has also been reworked for greater flexibility; its contribution now, four beautiful double bedrooms and two of the home's three bathrooms including a divine master ensuite, tiled top to toe.
Across the hallway, kids (or guests) are the lucky beneficiaries of a chill-out zone connecting the main bathroom and toilet with two of the bedrooms, where veranda access opens the door to home office potential.
It's here too that the lounge with its gas fireplace, polished boards and double glass entry doors stands as a solitary souvenir of the home's fifties origins - yet another valuable bonus when you crave that extra living area, media space or fifth bedroom.
Being so close to the beach, summer is always special here, but it's also beautiful at other times of the year when the sun streams through highlight windows to warm the skillion-roofed expanses of the north-facing open-plan. Fall for the barefoot luxury of heated concrete floors, surrender to the instant fireside ambience of Escea gas heater and natural stone, and oversee homework in the dual study nook while you revolutionize your food culture in a kitchen favoured with a sophisticated mix of materials, plentiful storage, quality European appliances and direct access to the carport.
Beyond stacking glass, the long, covered deck is the no-fuss backyard entertainer you'll turn to time and again, where simple lawns nurture child's play and a pool would seem the natural next step. The third bathroom and adjoining laundry were designed specifically with this in mind, and with gas and the necessary planning approval in place, you're good to go.
And the holiday vibe continues Walk to Glenelg for a midweek bite, explore Brighton and beyond via the coastal trail, and join in the fun at the Somerton Surf Life Saving Club. What better spot to raise a family, or more stunning nest to do it in.
