Conceived by renowned architect, Brian Wyatt, this iconic residence has become a Taroona landmark, exuding timeless individuality and architectural flair, with an unparalleled location to create a truly one-of-a-kind living experience.
The home's innovative design features over 5-meter-high, floor-to-ceiling double-glazed windows that flood the interiors with natural light, showcasing breathtaking views of the surrounding bushland, Taroona Beach, and the Derwent River. This seamless connection with the environment gives the home a sense of grandeur culminating in a residence that not only respects its environment but thrives within it.
Thoughtfully designed to adapt to the needs of its occupants, the home's multi-level layout offers flexibility, allowing spaces to expand or contract as the numbers and needs of the occupants change. It's the ideal family home, balancing open plan living with intimate spaces, and is perfectly suited for both daily family life and elegant entertaining.
Upon entry, a welcoming courtyard leads to a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area, complete with a butler's pantry. The living spaces flow effortlessly to an expansive alfresco deck and a low maintenance garden that borders the Taroona bushland reserve. Two large separate living areas open onto a second deck, offering bush-to-beach views that enhance the home's harmonious connection to its surroundings. Finishes of Tasmanian Oak floorboards and polished concrete walls complement the natural beauty of the landscape.
The lower level of the home serves as both a retreat and an entertainment hub. Four spacious bedrooms offer ample accommodation, with one transformed into a moody, stylish wine cellar-a cozy, atmospheric space ideal for savouring wine and hosting memorable gatherings.
The heated indoor swimming pool on this level has been temporarily converted into a private gym, creating a versatile space for personal fitness and wellness. A chic, spacious bathroom with polished concrete accents completes this level.
The upper level is dedicated to the primary bedroom suite, featuring a large walk-through robe and a recently renovated en suite. A distinctive double-glazed glass enclosure envelopes the study, offering dramatic views across the Derwent River and surrounding bushland, making it an inspiring and tranquil workspace.
Additional features include ducted air-conditioning zoned for each level, custom joinery, unique pre-cast concrete panels and corten steel surfaces, a feature wood fireplace, built-in speakers throughout, LED lighting, a new hot water system, a powder room, and a secure double garage with extra storage.
