The Feel:
Some homes have an extraordinary ability to make you feel at ease from the moment you arrive. Here, magnificent Moonah trees, native gardens and birdsong create an immediate sense of calm. Designed by Josh Cole of WORKCRAFT, this remarkable residence embraces its natural surroundings, elevated to preserve and celebrate a trio of established Moonahs. Inside, an intimate entrance unfolds into soaring raked ceilings, warm timber finishes and beautiful northern light. Skylights frame the changing sky, while expansive glass doors connect the living space to the garden beyond. Afternoon sunshine fills the window seat, the dining banquette invites conversation, and a wood fire brings warmth to winter evenings. Thoughtfully designed, effortlessly welcoming and deeply connected to its landscape, this is contemporary coastal living with an unmistakable sense of belonging.
