Alfresco’s perfect peak

Leave the doors wide open to an elegant way of living and dining in this luxury home, writes Bronwyn Farr

MANY homes in the Far North are designed to have a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces – and this luxury home truly epitomises the concept. A vast open-plan kitchen and living area opens via bi-fold doors to an equally large outdoor space overlooking an infinity pool and sensational views to the Cairns CBD and beyond.

Upstairs, a sizeable covered balcony off the master bedroom provides similar views and a perfect, private place to relax.

The home has loads of glass throughout and a muted colour scheme with timber features – flooring upstairs is timber, as is the broad staircase and there is sleek timber panelling in a wellappointed office with a built-in desk spanning one wall, built-in shelving and windows with sea views, providing an enticing space to work from home.

Agent Shira David Stern said the property was built and finished to an exceptional quality.

“It is a timeless home in one of the best locations close to the city,” Ms David Stern said.

“The home would be perfect for a large family or multi-generational living.

“There has been exceptional interest from interstate and local buyers in the home in the few days that it has been on the market.”

The L-shaped outdoor area surrounding the pool has an alfresco dining space and an undercover area with a barbecue and pizza oven, and plenty of room for lounge-style seating.

The split-level design creates soaring ceilings and a feeling of spaciousness.

It is a theme throughout the home, with the master bedroom flowing to a deluxe ensuite as well as a dressing room.

There are four more large double bedrooms – two on the ground level and two on the second level, and two main bathrooms.

The pool is positioned to make the most of the views.

The sleek kitchen has top quality appliances. Two media rooms and a big utility room with a butler’s pantry, laundry and plenty of storage space, and a double lock-up garage complete the picture.
