Luxury living in Old Lonsdale

This is the beach house that dreams are made of, just meters from the front beach and shopping strip in coveted Old Lonsdale. Here, luxurious form melds perfectly with function, creating an easy-flowing Entertainers' haven. This 6 bed, 3 bath architect-designed residence, with 2 living zones and swim-spa, is designed to impress.

A striking facade combines cedar, render, bluestone stacked stone and Alucobond cladding, creating clean modern lines. Interiors blend warm blackbutt timber flooring, cedar linings, doors and windows with a modern white and black colour scheme. Expansive double-glazed windows and doors, high ceilings, wide halls and generous proportions create a sense of light and space.
Enter the home through wide double doors, to a causal living area with kitchenette. This room doubles as a rumpus, or when the wide bank of stackers are opened to the expansive front deck with swim-spa, this space is transformed to a breezy, indoor-outdoor entertaining zone. The well supplied kitchenette has a wine fridge, Fisher & Paykel dish-drawer, plenty of storage and sink.
Down a wide hall, 2 spacious kid's bedrooms flank a larger bedroom that would be suitable as a teen retreat or guest room. All 5 minor bedrooms, upstairs and down, are generously proportioned, have built-in robes, carpeting, and automatic lighting and blinds. The luxurious downstairs bathroom has a deep soaker tub, walk-in shower with rain showerhead and back-to wall toilet.

Take the cantilevered blackbutt staircase up to the dramatic gallery-style lounge, dining and kitchen. Walled on one side with glass, this minimalist space is airy and light. Carpeting delineates lounge, and a gas-pebble fire with floating Caesarstone hearth is a striking focal point. Three mod pendants float above the dining area; and a pared-back lighting instillation drops from cedar lining, drawing the eye to the streamlined Entertainer's kitchen. Sleek black and white cabinetry and glass splashback act as backdrop for the sculptural Caesarstone island bench with vast bar and stylish under-mount sink. This space is the perfect backdrop for entertaining!

A Butler's pantry provides plenty of extra storage and space for food preparation. A self-cleaning under-bench oven, induction cooktop, concealed range hood, dual Fisher & Paykel dish-drawers, wine fridge and instant hot/cold sparkling water tap ensures that preparing everything from family dinners to New Year's celebrations, is a breeze.
The wide hall leads to a convenient powder room, with sensor lighting, two further bedrooms and the impressive master bedroom. This suite has a wall of glass running its length, linking bedroom to dressing room and en suite. Privacy blinds drop at the touch of a finger and the room has wireless HiFi audio; this is a place for long, lazy lie-ins. The impressive walk-through dressing room boasts extensive his and hers built-in storage. The dramatic en suite features a cedar-lined ceiling and black and white colour scheme. A wide walk-in shower with dual rain showerheads and mixers and floating vanity beneath a large mirror, create a sense of spaciousness.

Teched-out, this home is wired for lighting, sound, heating & cooling, security, and privacy; and the user-friendly interfaces are controlled easily by the touch of a finger. The Clipsal CBus Automation System takes care of security features including the automatic Roller gate, keyless entry front door, Clipsal Home Safe Alarm and CCTV. Also integrated to this system are the ducted Daikin RC-AC, Jet Master gas pebble fire, LED lighting, automatic blinds, Hurlcon Viron P600 pool pump and gas pool heater.

Entertainment is supplied by Samsung TV system to lounge, master bed and living. Audio and visual gadgetry is controlled simply via smartphones and tablets.
Outside, the sun-soaked front deck is ideal for pool-side entertaining. The merbau timber deck flows to the in-ground swim spa. Bluestone seating edges the space, with a fully landscaped garden creating the backdrop. To the rear, the child-friendly garden features an in-ground tramp. The outdoor shower is a necessity after a day spent at the beach! The water tank keeps the hardy, low-maintenance garden looking fresh. The exposed aggregate driveway leads to the concealed carport. Avid sportsmen will appreciate the space to park the boat and other water toys!
