Set on the harbourside, this striking 260sqm home delivers on its brief for a “standout on approach, with a rugged coastal vibe.” The exterior wows with its strong architectural form and vertical timber cladding, with selected sections finished in the traditional Japanese technique of shou sugi ban — charred and brushed for dramatic effect.
A boardwalk-inspired path leads to the front entrance, setting the tone for the raw-meets-refined aesthetic throughout. Polished concrete floors and warm marine ply ceilings set a natural tone, while expansive windows beautifully frame sun and sea views. The open-plan living space flows effortlessly into a covered alfresco retreat, complete with a ply-lined ceiling, skylight, and fireplace — creating the ultimate year-round entertaining space.
The home is as practical as it is beautiful, offering two living areas, a modern kitchen with a scullery, three generous bedrooms, two bathrooms, a powder room, an office, double garage, and an impressive wine cellar. With thoughtful design choices that provide shelter from sea breezes and maximise natural light and warmth, this home is a true modern retreat on the water’s edge.
