Architectural delight
The design and execution of this outstanding Redcliffs property on highly regarded Beachville Rd, comes with a whole lot of options along with a literal sea change for those who want to escape suburban living.
This is where you’ll wake up to bird song and the sight and smell of the sea, both of which are a lot more desirable than an alarm clock and the steady hum of city traffic.
Architect Marcus Stufkens of Stufkens + Chambers has stayed true to the firm’s philosophy of design that responds to its context and creates a sense of place.
Contemporary elegance and quality finishes are ever-present in this magnificent home where a significant investment in highquality materials and fittings matches the inspired architectural design and faultless execution.
The latter is what comes from being the builder’s own home and his total commitment to a quality home.
European oak flooring and oak feature panelling is an example of the enduring beauty of a property which also features comprehensive custom in-built joinery and well-appointed fully tiled bathrooms and laundry.
Underfloor heating, ducted internal heat pump systems and thermally broken double glazing add much to the luxurious comfort on offer.
Technology is equally prominent and includes LED lighting, solar hot water, smart cabling, an extensive interior and exterior built-in sound system.
Exhibiting the perfect partnership of impeccable taste and superior spatial design, this is the very essence of luxury waterfront living and, with this style, comes a whole lot of substance.
Here you’ll find a four-bedroom home and a fully self-contained two-bedroom apartment complete with its own separate drive and access.
It is this clever configuration, totalling six bedrooms and four bathrooms, that offers such a multitude of options to the astute buyer.
You get to choose from intergenerational living, home and work, or operate as the current owners do by using it as waterfront holiday accommodation that enjoys handsome returns.
The prospect of those returns allowing you to spend your days doing little more than walking the dog before stopping at one of the many cafes on the way home has to be a significant motivator in itself.
Thoughtfully configured across two levels, there are bedrooms and bathrooms conveniently located on either floor.
Central living zones are situated upstairs, offering an everchanging and mesmerising living slide show that takes in the ocean views of Moncks Bay through to the white-water views on Sumner Beach, Shag Rock through to the Scarborough headlands and around the Redcliffs hills.
The focus is clearly on wide, light-filled spaces in which to live and entertain, and this is very much a home in which entertaining is not just desirable but almost mandatory.
Fortunately, the designer kitchen is more than up to the job of catering for friends and family that will undoubtedly be beating a path to your door.
The luxuriously appointed kitchen features an extensive catalogue of Miele appliances and a Reverse Osmosis water filtration system.
A stunning Quartzite benchtop and a well-placed servery window that allows you to serve culinary delights from the kitchen to the deck without skipping a beat are just two more desirable features in the very long list of design details in this home.
With decks to the east and west you get to start and end your day in the sun in this property which offers sublime, professionally landscaped, outdoor spaces that include a volcanic stone fireplace and saltwater spa.
The outdoor shower provides the perfect spot to refresh after a day at the beach or on the water.
This alluring package of home and lifestyle doesn’t end there.
You’ll also get to enjoy the separate media room, a relaxing sauna, triple car garaging with a gym and generous off-street parking.
Those who have absolutely no intention of ever joining the daily commute to work after seeing this property can install themselves in the spacious purpose-built office complete with external access.
Good luck with getting any work done here, however, where the space invites you to do anything other than deal with paperwork.
