A Central Showpiece
The heart of this home is a breathtaking triple-volume central space, anchored by a striking spiral staircase that leads to the upstairs main bedroom. Surrounding this core are living areas that seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor spaces.
Living and Entertaining Spaces: The lounge and dining areas open through stackable doors onto a spacious deck patio, offering enchanting views of the lush garden, heated pool, and a versatile “pool house.” This space could easily transform into a self-contained guest cottage or a dedicated entertainment area for unforgettable gatherings.
Industrial-Chic Kitchen: The kitchen exudes character with its industrial design, featuring large steel-framed windows, concrete countertops, and a gas hob. A discreet pantry and a separate scullery/laundry area ensure functionality without compromising aesthetics.
Comfort and Style
Warmth for Winter: A wall-sized gas heater provides efficient warmth throughout the home, creating a cozy atmosphere on chilly nights.
