Honouring the original vernacular of its 1920s origins, this double-fronted Californian bungalow has been thoughtfully reimagined by Chapman Architecture to radiate calm, confidence and contemporary elegance. A sun-drenched extension draws in the northern light and seamlessly connects the home to its landscaped garden surrounds while a restrained material palette of Super White marble, Blackbutt timber and terrazzo creates a refined sense of quiet luxury. Spread over three impeccably appointed levels, the five-bedroom home features three distinct living zones ideally suited to happy family life with a high-spec kitchen and an entertainer's pavilion as the social heart and an upper level parents' retreat capturing northerly district views. Sustainability is embedded in the design, from passive solar principles that enhance light and airflow to a 13.5kW solar system with battery storage delivering a home that is not only beautifully considered but environmentally conscious. Set on a prime 486sqm approx, this idyllic seaside pocket is just 400m to Clovelly Beach in one direction and Gordons Bay in the other.
