The village of Gerringong exudes timeless beauty. And here, set into its hillside, a special home has been engineered to last and designed to maximise its sweeping rural vista. Welcome to Grand View.
When we say engineered, we mean it – a labour of love by its owner builder, built in 2009 with concrete and 44,000 quality Bowral face bricks. It cleverly uses the sloping block to create a seamless 4-bedroom family home from front to back, following the sun and providing multiple living zones inside and out.
It's in the cavernous double garage (complete with 3.3m ceilings and 4000kg hoist) that you fully appreciate the raw beauty of the formed concrete base on both levels. The adjacent 'man cave' is literally framed by rock – a reminder of both the excavation and foundations.
Here on the ground floor, double entry doors welcome you in and it's immediately clear that the finer details are just as important – from 9ft ceilings and step cornices throughout to the solid timber doors and precision finishes. Downstairs you'll also find a self-contained guest wing – with lounge, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. It steps out to a timber-decked verandah, just the spot for a quiet afternoon book or beverage.
Now take the staircase or pneumatic lift up, where the light-filled kitchen awaits with quality patini benchtops, double oven, induction cooktop, walk-in pantry and smart raised dishwasher. Through the window, an outdoor kitchen and BBQ frame the paved terrace – the ideal sunny breakfast spot.
Back inside, you'll be drawn out beyond the central living room (featuring electric fireplace, mechanical remote blinds and Tasmanian Oak cabinetry) to the impressive front balcony. This vast entertaining space provides panoramic views from Coolangatta to Saddleback – the ridge line framing every golden sunset. A truly grand view!
In fact, it's a view so good that the spacious master suite also shares it – with its own balcony access, extensive wardrobes and generous ensuite. Two further north-facing bedrooms occupy this top level, along with a main bathroom, media centre and large laundry.
Ultimately however, this home has been engineered for low fuss living. From ducted air conditioning and vacuuming to the 6kw solar system, 10,000L rainwater tank and easy-care gardens filled with Cowra White pebbles, Buxus hedging, Gem Magnolias, Ficus, Lilly Pilly and more. Stainless steel custom planters and lighting complete the look.
Built to last. Built to enjoy.
