Laid-back living on the waterfront

MID-CENTURY design blends with coastal living in this Palm Beach pad. The three-bedroom house, with 19m of sandy beach, is built on one of the widest parcels of water in the suburb.

“It’s as good as the water gets in Palm Beach as far as waterfront is concerned,” said marketing agent Troy Dowker of Kollosche.

“The way the canals are designed it really gives you the widest expanse.

“The other great thing is it’s north-east to water which is always the most appealing aspect.”

Dark vertical panelling sets a sophisticated tone outside the house and carries through to the inside with concrete-look tiles, bespoke lighting and dark cabinetry.

“It has certainly got that stylish, sleek sophisticated feel to it which is appealing to a lot of buyers,” Mr Dowker said.

The floor plan includes a galley kitchen fitted with high-end Smeg appliances, two living areas and three bedrooms, including the main bedroom which offers views capturing the sun rising over the water.

A sliding solid door allows the main living area to be closed off from a second lounge area and the bedrooms.

Outside a wraparound deck steps down to lush lawn that overlooks the waterfront.

“The house is perfect for families, executive couples of retirees because it is very functional and practical,” Mr Dowker said.

Other features include a home office, double garage with built-in workspace or home gym, CCTV security, electric driveway gate, coded pedestrian access and an intercom system.
