Nestled within the sought-after Whale Rock area, this exceptional Starkey-designed residence is a masterclass in effortless living, where contemporary architecture blends seamlessly with nature to create a sanctuary of tranquillity, light, and comfort.

Designed around a sophisticated indoor-outdoor lifestyle, the home features two expansive bedroom suites, each thoughtfully crafted as private retreats. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors invite natural light throughout the day while opening completely to established garden surrounds, creating an uninterrupted connection between interior and exterior spaces. Both suites offer luxurious en-suite bathrooms complete with baths and walk-in showers, delivering a spa-like experience from the comfort of home.

A versatile north-facing sunroom provides a beautifully adaptable space that functions equally well as a tranquil study, creative workspace, reading lounge, or sun-drenched relaxation room. Bathed in natural light year-round, it embodies the home’s emphasis on comfort and wellbeing.

At the heart of the residence lies an impressive open-plan living environment where the kitchen, lounge and covered patio dining area flow effortlessly together. Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, the space features a stylish built-in bar, creating a welcoming setting for gatherings with family and friends. A separate scullery offers practicality and discreet functionality while providing direct access to the double garage.

The second bedroom wing mirrors the home’s commitment to thoughtful design and luxury. Large glass doors open onto the gardens, while a spectacular shower can be opened to the outdoors, allowing for a unique and immersive connection with nature. A generous study area, complemented by a full wall of built-in storage, provides flexibility for remote work, creative pursuits, or additional living space.

Outside, the property’s mature and meticulously maintained gardens are truly extraordinary. Rich with established plantings and peaceful corners, the grounds create a sense of privacy and serenity rarely found. The garden is a standout feature in its own right, offering an enchanting setting that feels worthy of recognition and admiration.

Further enhancing the home’s appeal is a dedicated gym room complete with built-in cupboards and an adjoining external toilet. This space presents an excellent opportunity for easy conversion into a third suite or fully independent guest accommodation through the addition of a shower.

Behind the scenes, the property has been meticulously engineered for reliability, sustainability and efficiency. A comprehensive Victron inverter system ensures dependable power management, while substantial JoJo water storage capacity provides security and peace of mind. Utilities have been thoughtfully optimised to maximise resilience while minimising ongoing operating costs, delivering a home that is as practical as it is beautiful.
