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.
