If you are looking for contemporary beachside ambience, vast living and entertaining areas and direct beach access then Akuna could be your dream home.
It is situated at the desirable, quiet, northern end of Alcorn Street.
Designed by one of Byron Bay's leading architects Akuna was ahead of its time and still turns heads when entered for the first time.
Designed to provide an informal and warm, yet luxurious beachfront vibe, Akuna is a house to be lived in and enjoyed.
The first impression is that of space.
The ceilings are 3 metres high throughout the house and extensive use of glass brings the outside inside.
Entry is from the front courtyard, which is sheltered from the street by a brush fence and gate, or through the remote controlled double garage.
The ground floor hallway leads straight into the open plan kitchen, dining and inside and outside living areas.
Together these areas are over 120m2.
Here you will find a kitchen that has over 6 metres of custom-made stainless steel bench tops as well as a 2-metre long terrazzo island bench.
Quality stainless steel dishwasher and appliances, huge cupboard space and a walk in pantry - everything a chef or entertainer could desire.
Opening off the kitchen is a large sheltered north facing deck, which is perfect for entertaining.
The living and dining areas are equally spacious and will easily accommodate your friends or family.
Facing the dune is a large deck, which runs the full width of the house.
It has a soaring curved roof, which is 5 metres high at its apex, providing a panoramic view of the bush and private track over the dune to the beach.
Between the deck and the track to the beach is a paved BBQ area, a garden shower with hot and cold water and two timber benches, which are great for relaxing in the sun.
Also on the ground floor there is a laundry/storage room, bathroom and spacious bedroom.
While currently used as a bedroom this room would also make a great media room, home office or family room.
Up stairs the four bedrooms are accessed from a long wide hallway, which is almost a room in itself.
The master suite is at the eastern end of the house and features a walk-in wardrobe and en suite bathroom.
The other three bedrooms share a large bathroom and there is a separate toilet.
Once again, there is flexibility of layout as one of the bedrooms is currently used as an office.
There are also two huge storage areas within the house and a ducted vacuum system throughout.
Akuna is surrounded by low maintenance tropical gardens and there is room for a pool (STCA) if you so desire.
The house has been continually updated by the current owners, including a kitchen refurbishment and has recently been painted inside and out.
The roof was replaced in 2009.
The current owners live overseas for a large part of the year and make the house available for holiday rentals when they are not using it.
The house has a great reputation as a holiday property and has a track record of good returns.
