There are homes that impress at first sight, and then there are homes that reveal something new every time you move through them. 145 Edinburgh Street is firmly in the latter category.
Originally designed by acclaimed architect Peter Hall, renowned for his work on the Sydney Opera House, this distinctive residence has been thoughtfully transformed through an extensive renovation that brings together architectural heritage, natural materials and contemporary luxury.
Rather than following a conventional layout, the home unfolds across multiple levels, creating a remarkable sense of space, privacy and connection. Dramatic rooflines and soaring timber-lined ceilings are complemented by bespoke joinery, carefully considered lighting and a restrained palette of natural finishes, resulting in interiors that feel both sophisticated and wonderfully warm.
At the heart of the home, expansive living and dining spaces open through wide glass doors to a substantial terrace, drawing the outdoors in and framing the beautiful hinterland beyond. The outlook is particularly captivating from the main living room, where the lush landscape and distant mountains become part of the home's interior composition. A discreetly positioned powder room completes this level, providing effortless convenience when entertaining.
The kitchen is a statement in understated luxury, combining extensive custom cabinetry, natural timber detailing, premium surfaces and a generous island that anchors the open-plan living space. Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, it connects effortlessly with the adjoining dining, family and outdoor areas.
And then there is the accommodation.
The upper level is dedicated entirely to an exceptional private retreat. A generous main bedroom is accompanied by an extensive walk-in robe, beautifully appointed ensuite and separate media, reading or lounge room. The ensuite is particularly striking, with a freestanding bath positioned beside a picture window framing the surrounding landscape, while private balconies provide elevated spaces to enjoy the outlook.
The lower level provides three generously proportioned bedrooms, each complete with its own beautifully appointed ensuite, creating an exceptional level of privacy and comfort for family members and guests alike. One ensuite features the added luxury of a walk-in shower and spa bath, while a separate powder room provides additional convenience. A dedicated office/media room, laundry and cellar further enhance the flexibility of this thoughtfully considered floorplan, creating an outstanding environment for family living, entertaining and extended stays.
Outside, the property takes on an entirely different character. Lush established gardens frame a resort-style pool, expansive decking and a substantial entertaining cabana with outdoor kitchen and dining area. It is a private, tropical-feeling sanctuary designed for long lunches, summer gatherings and relaxed afternoons by the pool.
The property's practical credentials are equally impressive. Dual street frontage, R3 zoning and parking for up to five vehicles provide a level of versatility rarely associated with a home of this calibre. A double lock-up garage accessed from Jarrett Street offers excellent additional space for vehicles, a boat, workshop or storage, while further off-street parking is available from Edinburgh Street.
A 5kVA solar system adds another thoughtful element to the home's modern functionality.
Yet perhaps the greatest appeal of 145 Edinburgh Street is that it refuses to fit neatly into a category. It has the scale of a substantial family residence, the privacy and amenities of a luxury retreat, the individuality of an architecturally designed home and a location that places the best of Jetty living within easy reach.
Just moments from Jetty Beach, the marina, coastal walking tracks and the area's celebrated cafés and restaurants, the home offers an enviable balance of tranquillity and convenience.
Architecturally significant, beautifully renovated and unmistakably individual, 145 Edinburgh Street is a rare opportunity to secure a residence with genuine personality, exceptional craftsmanship and a lifestyle that is difficult to replicate.
