On the one hand, we have modern architecture, oozing luxury with all the latest technology and creature comforts you could expect from a property of this calibre; whilst on the other, Hastings Point remains a quaint coastal town, seemingly frozen in time, where people walk slowly, taking their time to appreciate the pristine surroundings. Immersed in nature, whether in the winding waterways, the beach tracks and bush walks or watching the sun rise over the waves or set across the ranges, there is a rhythmic flow to life in Hastings Point and a lucky few get to ride this lifestyle all year long! THE LAYOUT A modern and practical interpretation of beachside luxury, no expense has been spared in creating this executive home. Set over two stories, the home features a spacious and functional floorplan which emphasises the grandeur of the home. Upon entry, you are met by a floating staircase which draws the eye up through the void space exposing soaring, cedar lined ceilings. On the entry level, you will find a 3 car garage / workshop, 2 carpeted bedrooms with robes, the family bathroom and a large family lounge room. Featuring vinyl floors in the garage, engineered spotted gum flooring throughout the living areas and timeless travertine tiles in the bathroom, the neutral colour palette compliments the external environment aligning with the soft greens of the manicured gardens and the subtle tones of the sandstone feature tiles. Positioned at the end of the entry hall, sits the Apollo 3 Passenger Automatic Lift, a thoughtful addition whether it be to conveniently help with the groceries or to ensure that even age, with its ailments will not prevent you access to the upper level and its majestic views. From the upstairs lift and stair landing, the views make an immediate impression! Surian red cedar framed doors and windows stretch from the floor to the apex of the cathedral ceiling, drawing in the symphony of blues and greens of the inlet, ocean, and sky. Draped in light, this area is home to open plan kitchen and lounge areas with a formal dining alcove. Each with stunning views of the ocean and reserve. In particular, the spacious kitchen is rich in features.
