A home that gives you more ways to live!
There is a point where a house stops being a collection of rooms and starts feeling like a way of life.
57B Thames Promenade reaches that point. Behind its distinctive contemporary façade, this is a home that has been carefully arranged around the things that make everyday living better natural light, separation when you want it, connection when you need it, a backyard that genuinely becomes part of the home, and spaces that can change as life does.
Across approximately 209sqm of floor space and 252sqm of land, the design is generous without feeling excessive. The grand master suite sits privately on the ground floor, the main living spaces open towards the garden, and upstairs creates an entirely different rhythm with three further bedrooms, a second living area, study and additional space that can adapt to whatever your household needs next.
It is a home that doesn't simply give you four bedrooms. It gives you options.
THE ARRIVAL | A little different from the expected:
From the street, the combination of dark brick, crisp light cladding, timber detailing and established landscaping immediately sets the tone.
There is a considered architectural quality here without the house ever becoming cold or showy. The entry leads you into an interior that is bright, warm and remarkably connected to the garden beyond, with timber floors, clean lines and natural textures creating a sense of calm from the moment you walk through the door.
It feels contemporary, but lived-in. Designed, but not precious.
And that distinction becomes more apparent as you move through the home.
THE HEART OF THE HOME | Where inside and outside meet:
The kitchen, dining and living area is the natural centre of the house, but it is the relationship between these spaces that makes it special.
The full Smeg equipped kitchen is beautifully resolved with crisp cabinetry, 40mm stone surfaces, feature hexagonal tiling and a generous island that becomes the place for breakfast, conversation and preparation. A walk-in pantry keeps the practical side of family life tucked neatly away, allowing the kitchen itself to remain open, uncluttered and connected. Even its own separate coffee bar for the coffee enthusiasts and plumbing for modern fridges is available.
Beyond it, the dining and living spaces draw your eye towards the garden.
Open the doors and the house changes character.
THE OUTDOOR ROOM | This is where the lifestyle happens:
The rear garden is not an afterthought.
A substantial timber deck sits beneath a covered pergola, with draw down shaded awnings, creating an outdoor room that can be used in all sorts of ways. Morning coffee in the quiet. Lunch that starts at midday and somehow continues into the afternoon. Dinner outside while the garden catches the last of the light. Friends gathered around the table while the living room remains open behind you.
The landscaping, established planting and artificial lawn give the space a relaxed, private quality, while the direct connection from the main living area makes it feel like another room of the house rather than something separate from it.
This is one of those spaces that photographs well, but is likely to make even more sense when you are standing in it.
THE CLEVER PART | The house changes with you:
The floorplan is where 57B really starts to separate itself.
The master bedroom with a gorgeous feature wall and ceiling fan is downstairs, complete with walk-in robe and ensuite, creating a private retreat away from the additional bedrooms upstairs. It is a layout that works beautifully for a family now and remains equally adaptable later.
Upstairs, three further bedrooms are accompanied by a second living area and study. That means there is no need for every part of family life to happen in the same room.
The upstairs living area could become the children's retreat, a movie room, a quiet reading space or simply somewhere to escape when the downstairs entertaining zone is in full swing. The additional room gives you another layer of flexibility bedroom, studio, teenager's space, home office or somewhere to pursue the things you don't want competing with the everyday life of the house.
It is clever without making a point of being clever.
THE KITCHEN | Made to be used:
There is a temptation with contemporary kitchens to make them look impressive and forget that people actually have to live in them.
This one gets the balance right.
The 40mm stone island provides a generous working and gathering space, the quality Smeg equipped appliances add a flare of style, while the walk-in pantry takes care of the appliances, ingredients and everyday clutter that come with a busy household. The feature splashback adds texture against the clean cabinetry, while timber accents and the outlook to the garden stop the space from feeling overly clinical.
Most importantly, whoever is cooking isn't separated from everyone else.
The conversation continues. The garden remains in view. Life carries on around the kitchen rather than stopping at it.
COMFORT | The things you notice without seeing:
Some of the best features of a home aren't the ones that make the photographs.
Year-round comfort is built into 57B with central refrigerated heating and cooling, allowing the temperature throughout the home to be managed with the consistency you want in summer and winter.
Then there is the energy story.
A substantial 30-panel, 6.6kW solar system with its own battery storage has been incorporated into the home, bringing another level of thoughtfulness to the way the property operates. It is a combination designed around modern living comfort when you want it, energy generation during the day and battery storage to make better use of that energy.
These are the details that may not grab you when you first walk through the front door, but they become increasingly important once you live here.
