Remotely open this property's electric gate, step inside and feel like you've arrived at your own private family sanctuary. An inspired modern coastal residence within a barefoot stroll of beautiful Bar Beach, the luxury 4-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home, with four separate living and dining areas, flaunts architectural flair, superior functionality and fabulous amenity for indoor-outdoor enjoyment.

Designed by Simon Frost from Habitus Group and just eight years old, the creative interior palate here is cutting edge architecture meeting Piet Boon and Eric Kuster design influences and passive solar and energy efficient principles.

Both the principal north-facing living room with fan-forced gas fire and louvre windows, and the open plan dining room integrate seamlessly with the northern alfresco and stunning gardens by Lush Grow. The accompanying kitchen by Lathams features a stone waterfall island, butler's pantry, Miele appliances and a seemingly endless amount of storage.

Two additional living spaces are found upstairs including a private parents' retreat that offers true sanctuary status with its warming gas fire, remote blinds and full-size ensuite with Victoria & Albert bathtub. A games' room with kitchenette, cocktail bar and powder room opens to a Modwood entertaining deck with Eclipse roof opening system, gas point for BBQ and strip heater. This all-seasons entertaining space will be your go-to spot for when friends drop by or simply a quiet spot to take in the far-reaching district views and nightly sunsets.

Sleeping accommodation is cleverly zoned across the floorplan with two bedrooms downstairs and each of the four served by an individually designed ensuite bathroom.
