In a league of its own
In all his years of real estate David Cashmore has seen some amazing properties, and this one ranks among the best. “It’s unbelievable. The design and the technology are very sophisticated. And it’s absolute river-front and in a central location.”
Architect-designed and built in 2012, the award-winning home boasts a breathtaking array of features. Sequestered in its own world on the banks of the river, the luxurious property is not only private, but it optimises the beauty and solitude of the natural surroundings to deliver a high level of lifestyle living in the heart of the city.
Light and spacious, the design focus is on relaxed family living and entertaining. The layout caters for the diverse needs of a family while also offering superb social opportunities.
An amalgam of spaces brings together a substantial 322sqm (approx) main home, a 68sqm (approx) mezzanine floor shared above two of the four bedrooms, and two additional buildings. Ideal for private accommodation and/or work-from-home situations, these auxiliary buildings include a double garage comprising some 88sqm, with a lined room and ensuite, and a second area currently used as a gym. On the first floor of the 148sqm (approx) triple garage is an alpine-sealed large living room or office with woodburner, kitchenette and bathroom.
The home’s clever design sees a series private spaces flowing unobtrusively off the main communal areas. The layout brings the outdoors in by integrating the expansive decks that link with an infinity swimming pool. Summer promises a veritable five-star resort lifestyle experience.
Bespoke interiors showcase the opulence of a home that is chic, contemporary and impressively appointed. Built-in furniture gives a sleek look and the generous use of warm timber complements a restful colour palette of charcoal and neutral hues. The gourmet kitchen makes a statement with its bold cabinetry and huge scullery.
Other enhancements, including a dedicated home theatre, wine cellar, library and drying room, combine to put this home in a league of its own.
