A luxury resort-style estate in Palm Beach's best beachfront position, 'Melaleuca' is one of the finest properties on the Northern Beaches peninsula. The ultimate lifestyle haven of space and privacy, this trophy haven impresses with its magnificent residence designed by architect Susan Rothwell on 2560sqm (approx.) land with dual street access, sunny north aspect and beautiful gardens set against a beach and ocean backdrop with views to Barrenjoey Lighthouse and Central Coast in the distance.
Flawlessly designed for family living and grand-scale entertaining, the pavillion-style residence stands secluded from the street in an elevated setting among manicured grounds with towering palms, lawns, sun-splashed pool and spa. Coastal elegance defines the interiors where double living areas flow to an entertaining terrace with built-in barbecue and idyllic views, while a marble island kitchen (with a coolroom) forms the social heart adjacent to the dining area flowing to an alfresco area by the pool.
A refined palette of neutral tones and timber creates an atmosphere of relaxed elegance in a generous layout including five bedrooms, all with ensuite bathroom. Perfect for children and their friends' sleepovers is an oversized fourth bedroom with six built-in double bunks and media/TV area. A curved staircase and internal lift lead to the upper level dedicated to a parents' retreat with huge master bedroom suite, home office and stairs to a rooftop observation deck with spectacular views.
Soaring vaulted ceilings amplify the generous scale of the living spaces with twin gas fireplaces, while ducted air-con and heated bathroom floors ensure comfort all year round. Adjacent to the pool and heated spa is a sixth bathroom with sauna. A driveway accessed on Florida Road leads to a large two-car garage with internal access to the house, and an inclinator takes you to the front parking area and a boatshed-style games cabin at the Ocean Road entrance on the beachfront.
Much admired and highly coveted, 'Melaleuca' is among Palm Beach's most significant landholdings just footsteps to the surf and sand at the cul-de-sac end of Ocean Road near the Pacific Club, Palm Beach Surf Club and ocean pool. Live the coastal dream at this world class property just minutes to village shopping, excellent restaurants and the renowned boating playground of Pittwater.
