Last Listing description (April 2012)
Firt class beach front, fully renovated, family home
Showcasing an extravagant blend of Eurasian-inspired luxury over several breathtaking yet relaxing levels, this unique 4BR + study home with sprawling bay views is in a class of its own for a myriad of reasons.
Set directly opposite the beach (Beaumaris Lifesaving Club) and protected by the Marine Sanctuary park, an unprecedented life of family relaxation, entertaining and pure leading-edge indulgence is ready to be enjoyed throughout this vast, flexible floor plan.
Recycled 100 year old Redgum floors, white angular ceilings and rich polished timber and natural stone set the tone within. Ground floor living presents a zoned wing incorporating 2BRs with BIRs plus separate bath, shower & powder rooms.
Opening out from the fitted home office is an artist commissioned frozen waterfall with hand poured aluminium and zinc cascading sculpture, thriving fishpond and tranquil jetty made from 100 year old Fremantle and Woolammaloo timbers. It's a view also enjoyed from the hallway via a striking floor to ceiling atrium style window.
Completing the ground floor plan is a luxurious guest suite with BIRs, leading edge dual-access ensuite, 4 person sauna, home cinema room with high resolution projector and timber bi fold doors opening to a serene stone paved spa courtyard. There's also a spacious laundry with drying cupboards plus an enviable temperature controlled wine cellar with individual wood peg bottle holders.
Designed for gourmet chefs the stunning first floor kitchen boasts a walk in pantry, 1.5m double Ilve oven, Miele steam oven, a triple sink, integrated Miele DW, an abundance of storage cupboards, plumbed coffee machine facilities and natural stone Italiana bench tops. However, making an equally strong statement is the choice of spacious & exquisite family living and dining zones. One living area enjoys the warmth of a gas OFP and opens up via timber bi fold doors to a sheltered alfresco terrace with full surround sound wiring, electric outdoor heating and stunning bay views.
Neutral toned 100% Alpaca and black sheep wool carpets grace the dining room which leads into a second living area with stone surround natural OFP, linked dining zone and bi fold doors opening out to a stone alfresco terrace with wood fired pizza oven, vine covered Jamie Durie inspired meditation temple with stone base & water feature, plus a lower tier private putting green.
Re-defining your sense of luxury, the master BR retreat opens out to a private balcony stunning ensuite with double vanity, shower and 2 person spa bath walk through robe. And if that's not enough indulgence, a glass balustrade timber staircase leads you up to a private reading/observation nook plus outdoor deck for uninterrupted bay views.
