Standing sentinel on the cliffs of Dover Heights, this landmark home is an award winning masterwork of modern architecture. Named the "Lighthouse" and showcasing a site-specific design that expertly complements its clifftop location, it is a master built and supremely comfortable home, complete with large double LUG. A rare blend of modern glamour with concrete, copper and recycled hardwood timber, it features high-end bespoke fittings and finishes with an emphasis on a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.
Built with careful consideration of its location, with sweeping Pacific Ocean views and a vista to Sydney Heads, its curved concrete oceanfront exterior echoes the shape of the cliffs whilst also providing a robust shell which encases a home of luxury interiors. Located in an exclusive and private setting of natural beauty with whales, dolphins and falcons yet only about 20 minutes to the city with convenient access to Rose Bay, Double Bay and Bondi Junction, and an easy walk to Bondi Beach.
Set over 2 levels, a lower living, dining, and kitchen space features full glass on all sides, bringing in abundant light and also presenting incredible ocean views. With various sliding doors allowing seamless accessibility to an ocean-view lawn and low maintenance native gardens, a sumptuous inner pool courtyard, and a further wide terrace, this is a beautiful and functional residence with passive solar and summer breezes, and in floor hydronic heating throughout. The luxury kitchen meanwhile has marble benches, Miele gas and induction cooking, plus timber floor, with an adjacent bathroom and laundry.
Accommodation is located on the upper level, where a lavish main bedroom gazes across the ocean and features large built-in/walk-in robes and opens to a temple-like terrace. A secluded 2nd bedroom offers privacy with adjoining NE-facing sitting room or additional bedroom, while a 3rd presents flexible use as a large bedroom or relaxed living area/study, with sweeping views across to the surf at Bondi Beach.
An undoubted highlight is the upper double bathroom, a vast space with separate amenities and featuring a central skylight/void plunging to the lower courtyard pool. Cleverly connecting the upper and lower levels, this feature provides the pool area maximum light and underscores the unique architecture of a superbly liveable home.
