Those who know Sorrento property - will likely have admired 33 Marine Terrace - but beyond its striking facade is far more than a perfectly positioned home with ocean views. This functional four-level family residence is seamlessly executed in modernist style - an architectural masterpiece that will stand the test of time.
One of the final designs by Hawkins, Sands and Aris, the residence was built in one of our northern suburbs most tightly held pockets and conceived around light, space, landscape and its coastal setting. Strong horizontal lines, material connections between inside and out, large floor to ceiling glazing and soaring raked ceilings bring in natural light, with ocean views to the west and bushland views to the east.
A warm blend of materials and textures run through the home, from painted brick and Jarrah, Karri and Meranti timber to Leonora slate, Italian tiles and terracotta - all beautifully brought together, giving every space its own distinct appeal.
The layout facilitates connection and lends itself to easy entertaining. The kitchen connects to two dining zones and overlooks the main lounge with a view to the water. There are two distinct entertaining areas, a balcony oriented to the sea and a second space opening to a large, elevated backyard with a stunning inland vista. Every bedroom and living area has an outlook, whether it's the ocean, the garden or the treetops to the east.
There are four bedrooms, including the master with ensuite and an enormous guest room with its own separate entrance. The children's wing has two bedrooms, a bathroom and an activity/living room. Outside, landscaped and stepped reticulated gardens create separate, serene sanctuaries to the east and north, with fig, plum, mandarin and olive trees, frangipanis and a vege patch. The elevated backyard is the perfect spot for a granny flat with its own rear access (STCA).
The renowned architects are best known for the WA School for Deaf Children in Mosman Park, and while recognised for their mid-century designs, their work is now resolutely timeless.
Since it's inception - 33 Marine Terrace has been restored and improved over time, it's now an iconic residence and a chance to hold a piece of the Hawkins, Sands and Aris legacy. If you're looking for a property that will stand out, look no further.
