Relaxed Retreat Overlooking Pittwater
Beautifully located looking north over Careel Bay to Palm Beach, this very private home has been designed to be part of its gardens and the views. Its open plan allows direct level access to the garden and to a large partially covered deck overlooking the view. The house is filled with light and air, and the extensive use of natural materials gives it a very relaxed ambience. The upper floor contains three bedrooms and two bathrooms, as well as a combined living and dining room and kitchen. The design makes good use of louvre windows and a 'thermal chimney' to draw cooler summer breezes through, without the need for air conditioning. Winter heat is provided either by a slow combustion wood stove or gas space heating and the ceiling fans serve in both seasons. Nestled in a natural north east facing amphitheatre, it is completely protected from all winds except summer's north eastern sea breezes. There are three quite distinct outdoor entertaining spaces located to respond to the variable climatic conditions of coastal living, and allow escape from any strong winds or too much sun. The lower floor contains a large two-car garage and workshop, with ample storage; and a large studio/office which could be used as a fourth bedroom. There is scope to add an ensuite bathroom here. The gardens are largely low maintenance native plants and shrubs, while the area adjacent the house is more manicured, with lawns and flower beds of perennials. Creatively designed throughout by its multi-award winning architect owner, this very interesting home will impress any buyer looking for something special. Lifestyle + value.... Inspection Highly Recommended!
