Contemporary Oasis

The owners brief to Architect Brendon Gordon was to create a home with a 'beachy feel'. This solid home was built in 2014 using concrete block, concrete mid floors, vertical painted cedar and shadowclad. That directive influenced some of their interior choices, such as the aqua-hued splashback tiles in the kitchen, and bathroom feature wall complimenting the sandy coloured floor and wall tiles.

The owners enjoy their home's many clever design features, a short passageway leading away from the main living area, widens to become a second lounge, so wasteful hallway space doesn't feature here, polished concrete floors, raked ceilings, timber detailing, and a built-in timber-veneer entertainment unit in the lounge.

Two double bedrooms share a beautifully tiled guest bathroom, and the master suite features a luxurious ensuite with walk-in wardrobe with ducted air-conditioning/heating opening onto a private balcony. A powder room for guests.

Multiple deck areas, and glass stacker doors lead to the partially covered eastern and western decks with panels of stained horizontal cedar creating a wall feature. The decks off the main living, kitchen and master bedroom, provide shelter for all wind directions.

The Victoria ash stairwell and balustrade leads to the very impressive carpeted garaging, with massive workshop, more like a 'mancave' behind doors, plus another huge storeroom under the balcony and outside stairs. The laundry is at the back of the garage with plenty of cupboards. An area for an office is wired for a TV.

The gorgeous gardens are easy-care with stunning sub-tropical palms, cycads and more. The beachy feel continues on the outside with shell and timber walkways and light concrete paths with chunky timber inserts. Stunning fencing and a gorgeous entrance from the street, is aesthetically appealing and welcoming. Fantastic off-street parking is suitable for extra vehicles, boat or motorhome.

This gorgeous home will delight buyers looking for a low maintenance contemporary home in a sought after location central Mount, close to the beach, schools, and golf course.
