Elegance meets functionality in this design and build Lockwood home. This extraordinary residence seamlessly connects its occupants with the natural world outside. From the moment you walk through the door, you’re greeted with magnificent sea views and rolling coastal countryside. Every room along the front of the home features sliding doors opening to an expansive deck that stretches the length of the house. The deck gracefully descends two levels, revealing a spa nestled on the first lower tier, while the grand finale awaits on the second lower level – an awe-inspiring pool area that promises endless fun on sizzling summer days.
But the views aren’t just reserved for the deck. Thanks to the ingenious u-shaped floorplan, nearly every room in the house offers a breathtaking vista. The living space gracefully extends to an outdoor entertaining space, thoughtfully sheltered from the elements, making it a comfortable spot for year-round outdoor dining.
The homeowner, with a deep love for timber cultivated through years of working in forestry, has chosen to treat the interior of the home in a natural finish that exudes the warmth and character of wood. A striking stone-clad fireplace serves as the heart of the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living areas, creating cosy zones within this spacious home.
In the kitchen, a delightful contrast emerges as dark cabinetry mingles with a timber finish, harmonizing beautifully with the stone benchtop boasting a waterfall edge. Hidden behind seamlessly matching cabinetry, a discreet study space emerges within the kitchen/dining area, blending practicality with modern aesthetics. Minimalist lighting fixtures give this space a chic, contemporary vibe.
