There are homes that simply occupy their surroundings, and others that feel as though they were designed specifically for them.
4 Hester Street belongs firmly in the latter.
Set privately amongst established coastal vegetation on approximately 919sqm, this architecturally distinctive residence brings together natural timber, polished concrete and expansive glazing to create a home with warmth, texture and character.
The architecture reveals itself gradually. Light moves through oversized windows, greenery becomes part of the interior outlook, and the living spaces open naturally to outdoor entertaining areas rather than feeling separated from them.
At the heart of the home, generous living and dining areas provide an easy environment for everyday family life and entertaining, while the material palette gives the residence an identity that is difficult to replicate.
Upstairs, the outlook opens further, with elevated views towards Port Phillip Bay adding another dimension to the home.
But perhaps one of the property's most valuable features sits separately from the main residence.
A self-contained studio provides genuine flexibility for visiting family, older children, guests, working from home or simply having an independent space away from the main house.
The main residence comprises four bedrooms, complemented by four bathrooms and two-car accommodation, creating substantial flexibility for permanent living, weekends on the Peninsula or a family holiday base.
Private, architectural and refreshingly individual, 4 Hester Street offers something increasingly difficult to find in Blairgowrie, a home with its own identity.
