This breathtaking designer property is testament to the fact that dreams really do come true. A brilliantly located, designer style, awe-inspiring family home filled with natural light and Palm Springs ambience. It's modernist structure of glass and stone bears little resemblance to the red-brick home that once stood on this large coastal block. The current owners have carried out a full transformation, turning it into quite an extraordinary beachside residence.

Stepping into the dreamy space, it's hard to imagine the 70s home of yesteryear. A sense of continuity is felt with the easy flow of movement between indoors and outdoors, while the use of raw materials and the pleasing palette of milky whites and coconut creams are both welcoming and inspiring. The impressive kitchen island, living room plinth and stairs throughout the home are all created from off-form white concrete, while the flooring is concrete applied by hand, giving it a unique colour and shadowing effect. Every decision and detail in this home has been made with intention and purpose.

The landscaping has been carefully considered to complement the décor, with reclaimed limestone rocks hugging the landscaped garden of dragon trees, birds of paradise and date palms. Again, decisions have been made with clear intention and mindfulness here, with the use of limestone rubble in the garden beds keeping the earth damp during summer, meaning less water is used. While there are multiple areas to relax outside, including under the cabana at the alfresco dining table, or on the deck lounge suite, the real hero of the garden is undoubtedly the, circular, white concrete sunken pool.
