At the ocean end of Point Lonsdale, where the sea breeze carries the sound of the tide, a timber boardwalk winds through established gardens to a residence of exceptional craftsmanship. Individually designed and constructed by O'Dowd Builders, the home reflects more than five decades of local expertise in distinctive, energy efficient design. Inside, magnificent Western Australian limestone rises beside a sculptural Brushbox staircase, its glass balustrade preserving the beauty of the natural stone. Engineered American Oak floors introduce warmth beneath generous 2.7 metre ceilings, establishing a sense of understated luxury that feels entirely at home in its coastal surroundings.
Beyond handcrafted American Oak doors, the rear living domain unfolds beneath soaring 3.05 metre ceilings, where expansive glazing brings the garden into every conversation. Natural light moves across beautifully layered interiors, while the changing seasons bring fresh colour to the outlook. A gas log fire rests within the limestone feature wall, its concrete hearth and sandblasted Oregon mantle creating an inviting place to linger on cooler evenings. The dining area opens to a north east facing granite patio, where tall hedging offers wonderful seclusion for long lunches and summer entertaining. Beautifully resolved for everyday life, the executive kitchen features stone benchtops and Siemens appliances, complemented by Qasair extraction. An extensively appointed butler's pantry provides discreet preparation space, with carefully integrated storage preserving the clean architectural lines.
At the heart of the residence, the central staircase leads to three beautifully proportioned upstairs bedrooms, each with built-in robes. An inviting upper retreat looks across the treetops to the gardens below, offering a peaceful place to withdraw from the day. Premium Grohe fittings complete all three bathrooms, while an oversized double garage provides generous room for boating equipment and the essentials of coastal life.
Outside, the north oriented garden feels wonderfully removed, with lush lawns framed by established deciduous trees and flowering dwarf gums. Vegetable beds invite the simple pleasure of growing your own produce, while evergreen plantings lend privacy throughout the year. Beneath the beauty lies an exceptional commitment to comfort and efficiency, including double glazing, hydronic heating and ducted air conditioning. A six-star energy rating is complemented by 6.2kW solar and a 13.4kWh Tesla battery, with exterior sensor lighting adding convenience. Thoughtfully created for lasting enjoyment, this is a home where the quality of its construction is matched by the pleasure of living within it. With the front beach only moments away as a gentle reminder of just how priceless this coastal setting truly is.
