IF you’re looking for uber-modern style, elegance and sophistication you need look further than this Panarea Crest home.
The vendor turned to his European roots when it came to finishes for this five-bedroom/three-bathroom abode, including the flooring which is a high-impact commercial material from Germany. Hard to describe it’s beautiful to look at—and walk on—with thin grey lines swirling and looping across a white background.
Sitting high on the Yangebup ridge the house was built to make the most of ocean views, so the ground floor contains all the bedrooms, except the main, along with a spacious guest suite, complete with walk-in robe and generous ensuite.
A theatre/family room looks out over the pool and alfresco dining area.
Walls of glass lead out to this jaw-dropping covered patio. with built-in fridge, dishwasher and oven.
Open the bifold doors and invite balmy days in, or close them to enjoy being toasty warm while you cook up a storm on the built-in barbecue.
“I call this the summer kitchen,” the vendor says.
Glass and micro-corrugated iron fencing ensures the pool is hidden from prying eyes, without losing the view.
The vendor drew a red line through the architect’s plans for a solid staircase in the spacious hall, unwilling to compromise his open-clean lines and instead insisted on a floating staircase.
A steel spine carries thick timber steps covered in toughened glass, while the glass balustrade ensures nothing disturbs sight lines to the patio.
The second level is a sweeping open space slick and minimalistic, with plenty of natural light from a plentitude of windows and doors.
The huge kitchen has masses of caesar-stone bench tops, including a spacious island (with a double wine cabinet built-in), state-of-the art appliances and walk-in pantry.
Floor-to-ceiling glass leads to a very generous balcony, with glass balustrades to ensure the view is uninterrupted.
The main bedrooms is as stylish as it’s generous, with a walk-in robe and a swish ensuite.
The study next door could also double as a nursery, the vendor suggests.
When it came to designing a home for this generous 615sqm block, the vendor took onboard what potential buyers had said about his previous home.
“And decided to make this house accommodate everything people say they want to have.”
I’d say he’s nailed it with this amazing abode.
