High design meets high-tech living high above the bay in this benchmark new home from leading architect, Peter Pontifex. Transforming this quiet beachside lane with a widespread, high-impact, north-sun design, this fully-automated 3/4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom home adapts to changing lifestyles with suite accommodation upstairs and down and three versatile living zones. Ready to entertain with light-filled living-dining flowing northwards through a trio of stacking sliders, this versatile design steps up to a multi-purpose first-floor living zone (with a treetop-view home-office area and scope to double as a huge fourth bedroom) ...and steps out with a ground-floor suite is designed with separate entry via a walled garden – perfect for business-at-home.
Starring a state-of-the-art Miele and Bosch appliance kitchen extending to an indoor-out butler’s pantry/servery, and a sun-catching terrace extending to a fan-cooled, gasfire-warmed al fresco area, the home is fully-automated...and filled with clever ideas. In this high-tech design a Control 4 system offers the ultimate luxury of seamless home-automation by managing zoned climate-control, video-intercom, alarm, in-ceiling audio (inside, out, upstairs and down), Smartphone 5-camera CCTV ...and even automated blinds. All while 7kW solar system provides ultimate energy efficiency and double garaging provides easy-access parking.
All the luxury finishes are here too; from Calacatta-style porcelain-tiled bathrooms with in-floor heating (ensuites with concealed cistern WCs), to waterfall-edge stone benchtops and solid Blackbutt flooring, to under-cabinet LED and designer pendant lighting, to custom-fitted robes, and bathroom mirror-storage. Craftsman detailed with feature entry door made from Oregon repurposed from the original home on the site, every detail has been finely considered and impeccably curated here.
Set in with landscaped and lit gardens on a low-traffic beachside lane, this exciting architect-design is surprising close to it all in the Beaumaris College Zone; just 200m to access to the dog-friendly sands of Beaumaris Bay beach, with the Charman Rd bus (to stations, local shopping and Southland) at the end of the street, and the Pre-school, playground and path to Mentone Girls College around the corner.
