MANUEL ROAD
Oodles of space, superb style and personality
With generous dimensions and impeccable detailing this elegant, modern home is a luxurious family retreat. Expansive spaces and high ceilings create a feeling of openness and space, with natural tones and inspired finishes and fixtures echoing throughout in a cohesive integration of design.
From the street, smooth Aerated concrete plaster panel and light, rusticated cedar weatherboard pair with dark vertical louvers and Nu-wall aluminium cladding in a striking, contemporary facade. Through the entry, breeze flows to the landing above and views of the living room invite you along the hall. The guest suite sits separately here. Mirrored wardrobes open the room, with ensuite window space able to house an access door later if required.
The open space of the grand living and entertainment zone wows with its clean lines and sleek concrete floors. A feature window makes art of the tropical plants beyond and built-in cabinetry keeps clutter at bay, adding to the air of minimalism.
The layout creates clear lines of sight for family freedom under watchful eyes. Vast sliding doors slip away in a smooth transition to the outdoors. The stunning, louvered alfresco dining deck sits beside the pool, for lazy lunches while the children swim or enjoy the playground in a backyard designed for fun and relaxation.
In the kitchen, an island with waterfall edge makes a perfect bar. Cabinets form a clean profile with handle-free continuity across the white and wood finishes. The functional kitchen is aside, lining a hall to the scullery, handy but hidden.
Upstairs in the master suite a Juliet balcony makes the most of sea views and separate ducted heating keeps everything cool. The ensuite is exquisite with gorgeous bronzed glass, dark basins and bespoke cabinetry adding to the allure.
Across the wide hall and stairs, window seats double as storage and furniture in the girls’ ample rooms, where feature walls add pops of personalised colour. The family bathroom delights with feature lights and subtly pink basins blending in with earthy tiles.
Three more hangouts include a moody media room with polished paint and plush curtains, an upstairs rumpus and a golf simulator in the garage. This 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom, feature-rich home includes substantial storage, well-considered security and a separate laundry and WC. A minimalist home that shines with oodles of space and style and personality.
