Discerning buyers will recognise this stunning Adam Taylor-designed family home from the pages of Your Home and Garden magazine. Laid back, beachy vibes teamed with flourishes like Japanese cedar battening elevate the style while making every day feel easy like Sunday morning. This is the sun-filled sanctuary you’ve been looking for.
On a rare full-site one block from the beach, this property’s immaculate lawns and easy-care, landscaped gardens are irrigated by a private bore. Inside, the expansive two storied home has beautiful living areas to gather, as well as carefully curated spaces to retreat and relax.
Upstairs, exposed beams and huge bi-fold windows give the airiness of a cabana with warmth coming from the thoughtful use of natural timbers, textures and colours. The kitchen palette of earthy greens is set off by white tiles and a dramatic steel bench. A loggia provides a snug outdoor room that expands the entertaining space and feels connected to nature. The master suite faces the ocean to catch the sea breeze and morning sun, while on the ground floor the kids’ or guest bedrooms open to the courtyard and heated pool.
