Palm Springs with Hollywood glam

ANYONE aspiring to own an Insta-worthy home without having to put in any of the work, will love this walk-in walk-out Palm Springsinspired property. The work to transform what was a very humble abode, bought by Mikayla Radke in 2020 for $620,000, was carried out by a multi-award-winning Gold Coast luxury home builder.

Yet with the Palm Springs architectural and interiors style already in full swing, something more was needed to make 3 Matilda St a stand-out, so a touch of vintage flair was thrown into the mix to create a vibe that echoes that of a relaxed Hollywood Hills hotel.

By incorporating plenty of earthy materials, such as floor-to-ceiling stone in the bathrooms complemented by concrete basins, brass tapware and natural wood, the minimalist but luxury look of this home becomes complete.

Featuring five spacious bedrooms and two living areas, along with a media room, there are plenty of spaces where family and guests can either mingle or relax.

Those feeling sociable can gather beneath a soaring raked ceiling in the open-plan kitchen, before spilling out onto an alfresco terrace through stackable bi-fold doors that dissolve the barriers between indoor and outdoor living.

Once outside, a large mineral pool beckons with its inviting blue water edged with on-trend breeze blocks and retro sun loungers shaded by fringed umbrellas.

Surrounded by manicured gardens, this home defines what Gold Coast living is all about and the laid-back lifestyle of the James St shops, cafes and beaches, which make Burleigh Heads so sought-after, are but a few minutes drive away.
