Phoenix House exudes thoughtfulness, style, and character. This highly awarded home, winning ?most sustainable house in NSW? is situated in the heart of the 'golden grid?, Walk 5 mins to the beach and 5 minutes to the town centre cafes. With a beautiful park and tennis courts across the road this home creates the perfect byron lifestyle choice.
This property has been re-imagined into its modern day beauty by repurposing and bringing together an original 1900?s Queenslander in to the modern epoch, combined with an adjacent stylish studio. A modern masterpiece that carries the soul and atmosphere of a character home. Designed by award winning architect Harley Graham, every detail of this beautiful home has been considered. Textures of timbers, marble terrazzo, and brass flow throughout the home.
The beautiful northern aspect of this positioned property is captured on the verandah, ideal for entertaining or chilling solo, with a sleek mineral magnesium swimming pool floating out into the yard amongst the lush garden. 3x3m glass sliding doors that disappear between the verandah and lounge allow a beautiful flow of air and light to filter through the home while framing the view across to the park from within.
The living space skylight is an amazing feature in the space tracking a large triangle of winter sun into the lounge room, warming the home through the winter period, while the verandah protects from the harsh summer sun.
The walk through kitchen is evidently the heart of the home allowing for light meals at the breakfast bar or full entertaining nights and features terrazzo stone finished bench tops, solid oak cabinetry with brass highlights and Astra Walker tapware throughout. The repurposed French windows have been sustainably reutilised as splash backs allowing afternoon light in that once again reconnects with the soul of the Queenslander. The butlers nook is perfect for hiding away those kitchen appliances and pantry pieces.
A hallway leads off to the bedrooms across rich wide original Baltic Pine floorboards featured throughout the house.
The master has the warmth of rich recycled timber highlights with an ensuite also connected through a breezeway off the verandah.
The other 2 bedrooms with generous built in storage connect to a multi-media rumpus room shared between the kids or as an added work space for professional couples.
The deep ?statement? above ground pool floating off the verandah captures north sun all day long with an inbuilt seat, beautiful jade green Balinese volcanic tiles and self cleaning jets. The home itself has been purposefully lifted 1.6M off the ground to allow an elevated openness in the home allowing air to flow while also creating added storage for boards and bikes etc. Fully fenced yard with lush planting of succulents and natives designed by Fig Landscapes.
The property has the added bonus of ?Bei Villa? with its own private street access for guests.
Bei Villa is a luxurious self contained extended studio with lofted 4m ceiling and walk through guest room and ensuite.
The studio connects in style with the rest of the property in the characteristic feel, colours and materials and complete with full kitchen, bathroom and lounge. Bei Villa is perfect for a generous holiday income stream or guest accom and with the new 365 holiday letting rules in place Phoenix House allows you the flexibility to either airbnb the fully self contained studio or

Sustainability and style sits at the core of the property's values. The house has 20KW of solar with a large solar battery. The house can be used "off-grid". 10,000 litres of water storage for gardens, pool, and laundry as well as a commitment to low VOC finishes. It is understandable the property was awarded the ?Milo Dunphy Award? for Sustainability from the Institute of Architects.
