With a lakeside site and a requirement for luxury, this house had a lot to deliver. Just as well the resulting four-bedroom 337sqm home lives up to its billing. In fact, although it was designed to blend into the neighbourhood in terms of style, size and plaster-and-schist finish, there’s more here than there seems. It’s clear as soon as you walk through the front door. You’ll see art, as well as craftsmanship that could be regarded as art. It’s no more apparent than in the kitchen, dining and living space, which stretches from one end of the upstairs floor to the other and out to the balcony. At first glance, and from a certain angle, the white kitchen island looks standard, but move slightly and its sculpted form comes into focus. Behind it is a splashback of gold tiles that appear organic in form and texture. And that’s just a small sample of what’s on offer here. You’ll find a kitchen scullery with more of those eye-catching tiles, feature walls in bedrooms and designer tiles and fixtures in the four bathrooms, including ensuites. As well as being a striking presence, the tall schist-clad chimney visually anchors the home to its site. This smart residence has all the must-haves of modern, luxury living.
