This stunning family home pairs bold architectural design and everyday liveability with luxury that feels grounded rather than showy. Designed by Murray James and finished in 2023, it's a two-storey statement in form and function on a 701.9sqm block, with serious design chops and real lifestyle focus.
Concrete, glass, and custom cabinetry create a look that's crisp and modern, softened by light, garden views, and clever warmth. Polished heated concrete floors run across the lower level rumpus and fourth bedroom, along with a third bathroom, anchoring a floorplan built for entertaining and family life. Upstairs, the spacious open plan living area is enhanced by a sky-lit 3.4m cathedral ceiling and warmed by an Escea fireplace, while the kitchen is a standout with AEG appliances, 40mm stone, and a stone sink, flowing to a sunroom framed by bi-fold doors and remote Velux skylights. The family bathroom and three additional bedrooms, including a main with dressing room and ensuite, sit quietly in their own wing.
Step outside and everything elevates again. The architect-engineered shotcrete retaining wall is art in its own right, giving the level backyard sculptural drama and a feeling of privacy and permanence. A heated pool, outdoor kitchen with bar fridges and Foxtel cabling, firepit, veggie garden, and direct access to bush reserve on the northern side set the tone for long weekends at home. There's no neighbour on this side; just green space where the kids can play without you having to maintain.
Tech and practicality haven't been overlooked. Ducted a/c, a Bosch alarm, Hikvision cameras, 11kW solar system, Tesla battery and inverter, custom joinery, and even built-in mini bars keep life running smoothly. The garage houses a two-person sauna, while a putting green and electric gate sharpen up the front yard.
Kara Street is one of those cul-de-sacs where community still matters. Families mix, kids ride between front yards, and parks, schools, sports fields, and Westfield Kotara are right there. Beaches and the city are minutes away, giving you calm at home and convenience when you need it.
