Step through the lacquered black door and the home reveals itself in full, a soaring double-height entry with a grand crystal chandelier suspended above the feature staircase sets the tone for everything that follows. On the upper level, the open living and dining space is orientated entirely toward the bay, with folding doors drawing the outlook into the room and making the water a constant, living backdrop to daily life. The kitchen carries the home’s classic coastal character beautifully, its pale grey island, stone benchtops, triple pendant lanterns and professional-grade appliances sitting comfortably alongside the warmth of the wide-board timber floors. Downstairs, a generous rumpus room and undercroft area provide flexible space for the whole family. The ensuite bathrooms are quietly luxurious, finished in white marble-look tiling with polished chrome fittings and freestanding baths. A shallow sewer line beneath the site required approval and full diversion before construction could proceed, a challenge resolved with precision and without any trace in the finished home.
