Designed by acclaimed architect Victoria Merrett and constructed by renowned local builder Lamerton Build, this is a beautifully resolved expression of contemporary coastal architecture, pairing natural materials, exceptional craftsmanship and an effortless connection to the outdoors. Set privately, and just 450 metres from Sorrento Village, the home delivers the rare combination of architectural distinction, single-level ease and a lifestyle where the beach, cafés and village are all reached on foot.
A restrained palette of bagged cream brick and blackbutt timber gives the residence a quiet permanence, with the same material language continuing inside through real blackbutt veneer joinery, natural stone and finely detailed finishes. At the heart of the home, expansive living and dining spaces are anchored by a statement Ceppo Sicilia marble island from Signorino, while full-height glazing draws the northern garden deep into the interior. Wide openings dissolve the boundary between inside and out, extending the living spaces onto a sheltered alfresco deck and creating an effortless setting for long lunches, summer entertaining and everyday family life.
The north-facing rear garden is completely private from the street, centred around a swimming pool and spa framed by timber decking, lawn and established landscaping. Solar heating extends the pool season while the gas-heated spa creates a year-round retreat. A second living room overlooks the pool, giving family and guests their own space while maintaining a strong visual connection to the garden.
Predominantly arranged across one level with only minimal changes in elevation, the floorplan has been designed for both permanence and flexibility. Four bedrooms include a privately positioned main suite with ensuite, while a further guest bedroom enjoys its own ensuite at the rear of the home. Two additional bedrooms, a family bathroom, dedicated study and multiple living zones provide generous accommodation without compromising the home's sense of openness.
The detailing is equally considered behind the scenes, with hydronic slab heating throughout, integrated heating and cooling, solid 5mm stainless-steel benchtops to the kitchen and laundry, natural stone throughout the bathrooms and powder room, fully irrigated gardens and a substantial double garage.
Positioned approximately 450 metres from Sorrento Village and 500 metres from the foreshore, this is a home conceived around the way Sorrento is meant to be lived - mornings by the water, afternoons around the pool and the village close enough that the car can remain in the garage.
