Exclusive family style is at the heart of every space in this magnificent home, where state-of-the-art contemporary quality meets Federation origins. The merging of two eras is seamless and sophisticated, the work of BG Architecture and Barber Design for the interior-designer owner. Metres from the beach and near many schools, this premium four-bedroom and study home has large living areas and bedrooms on each level, and chic outdoor living centered around a private walled garden and pool. Exquisite design delivers exceptional spaces, including the streamlined family room with garden views on two sides, a heated concrete floor and pebble gas fireplace. The kitchen is a fine synergy of art and culinary flair, featuring photographic glass panels, a generous butler's pantry and premium European appliances including Liebherr integrated refrigeration. Wake up to garden views in the ground-floor main bedroom and ensuite, where an Apasier egg bath and pietra grigio surfaces are luxurious. Retreat to the large study/library at the end of a busy day, and appreciate the upstairs living zone that opens onto a deck for bay views and sea breezes. What makes this home so exceptional are the many prestige inclusions and exacting planning. The ozone pool is excellent for low-allergy swimming and has solar and gas heating, there's an infrared sauna, hydronic heating, reverse-cycle air conditioning, solar power, 20,000 litres of plumbed underground water storage, ducted vacuum and wheelchair accessibility to downstairs bathrooms. Few homes manage to deliver such architectural vision and everyday indulgence so well, and the location is just as wonderful. Easy walk to South Road's schools, Brighton Beach station, nearby cafes and the bay.
