Description: Offered to the market for the first time, this architecturally designed residence represents one of the most considered and substantial homes ever built in the Bayside. Designed and constructed by a respected local builder for his own family, the home was never intended for resale. It was created with permanence in mind, engineered, proportioned, and oriented for long-term living at the highest level. From arrival, scale and light define the experience. Feature six-metre voids to the front entry and main entertaining area create immediate impact, while three-metre ceilings and Pacific Teak timber flooring throughout reinforce the sense of quality and continuity. The home's perfect north-facing orientation ensures natural light, warmth, and balance across the primary living zones. This is a residence that understands how people live, entertain, and retreat. Architecture, Lifestyle and Engineering The home unfolds across multiple levels, each designed with intention and separation. Living spaces are generous yet grounded, with a sunken lounge positioned adjacent to the media zone, creating both visual interest and functional zoning. A dedicated, tiered eight-seat cinema delivers a true theatre experience, acoustically considered and supported by surround sound throughout the living areas. Wellness is addressed separately, with a traditional Finnish sauna constructed in Western Red Cedar, complete with integrated speakers. Entertaining is anchored by a full internal sports bar, designed as a complete bar kitchen with sink, dishwasher, refrigeration and integrated amenities. Positioned as a destination within the home, it connects via a spiral staircase to the lower level, creating a layered entertaining environment. The lower level incorporates a retreat zone and a self-contained guest suite with full bathroom. Outdoors, the north-facing rear entertaining zone is designed for year-round use. The swimming pool is a heated Naked freshwater system with integrated spa and waterfall feature, framed by electric blinds, built-in Weber BBQ, outdoor bar fridge and wine fridge, and fully irrigated, established Augusta Zoysia lawns. Arrival and parking are equally considered. Secure electric gates lead to a full-length porte-cochère, with a full-width vehicle ramp providing access to the basement garage. Parking is accommodated across multiple zones for up to five vehicles. Sustainability and infrastructure have been thoughtfully addressed with a 15kW solar system, electric hot water, naked system fresh water pool, upgraded stormwater capacity, sub-pump installation, and comprehensive drainage works.
