Pointside estate (1890), once the maids' quarters and stables of the pioneering The Point landholding, is one of the oldest, historic homes in Beaumaris. Home to the Creative Director of Danish-inspired practice, Hygge Design, Pointside is a beautifully restored five bedroom, 4.5 bathroom home, set in breathtaking grounds (approx 1689sqm). Architecturally landscaped gardens feature a fully-tiled pool, gym-pavilion & firepit, surrounded by lush hedges and mature trees. Private rear entry via Point Ave includes a triple-garage and additional parking for up to 7 cars.
Oriented to maximise the north sun across poolside gardens, the home’s multiple zones and many suites showcase a finely crafted minimalist aesthetic that never loses sight of its place as the backdrop to busy family life. Warm, welcoming and wonderfully accommodating, the entry welcomes you to a private office and library.
The hero of the home is most certainly the stunning kitchen - enveloped in American walnut timber and Brazilian quartzite, it is timeless in design- understated elegance at its finest. Integrated appliances from Fisher & Paykel, a feature bar & butler’s pantry, provide ease for cooking and entertaining. Pool-viewing continues into the living-dining with French doors and a servery window, opening to the all-season entertainers’ terrace, providing connection to the gardens from all aspects. An additional lounge sits off the main living, followed by the accommodation wing.
Designed to adapt with three similarly vast, but individually-appointed suites providing space to work, relax and retreat, the home’s treetop principal domain provides the ultimate escape with a generous dressing-room, deluxe dual shower & vanity ensuite, with water views to Arthur’s Seat.
High quality natural materials have been used throughout the home, including the restoration of the homes’ original baltic pine flooring. Textural artisan tiles feature in all 4 bathrooms, along with velvety Supertuft wool carpets. The home is rich with original architectural detail including 3.5m ceilings & vintage fireplace-mantles upstairs and down. The home is gently lit by Australian Robert Gordon and American George Nelson lighting, whilst window-furnishings have a sustainable edge.
Zoned reverse-cycle climate-control and in-floor bathroom heating throughout, provide comfort in all seasons. The home is appointed with solar pool heating; automated irrigation; invisible glass-fencing for the deep blue pool; alarm security; auto-gated parking and triple garaging to secure the largest fleet of boats, bikes, floats and vans.
Offering a lifestyle of unparalleled space and style in Beaumaris’ most prized beachside locale, this unique estate rises above Rickett’s Point at an iconic address; within four blocks of the Concourse and 400m off the sand. Mentone and Brighton schools in equally easy reach and both Beaumaris and Mentone Girls Secondary Colleges in Zone.
