18 Martin Crescent
Coconut Grove NT 0810
3 Bed • 3 Bath • 2 Car • House
The story of this home starts on a day-bed, on the deck of a yacht, beside a pool, densely surrounded by garden… with nothing in sight to remind you… You’re just minutes from a City. And that’s just the beginning of what makes 18 Martin Crescent, Coconut Grove, one of the few homes in Darwin built for people who understand living in the tropics… And love it. At its heart there’s baronial kitchen. With three sets of double doors and eight folding doors opening to the entire house, this chef’s kitchen anchors a uniquely Darwin way of life. The house has two sides. One holds the kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. The other, a bedroom with ensuite, a screened living area and its own entrance to the pool, spa and waterfall. A retreat for guests. Then there are two generous open areas. One for living and lounging and one for pool-side BBQ entertaining. Both are breeze-ways that open to gardens. And one leads to an open-air bathroom with shower and claw-foot bath. There are double doors to and from every room. The doors are designed with perforated mini-orb to add ventilation and filtered light when closed. When all are opened, the entire home becomes a breeze-way… that invites cooler garden air. The floors, the doors, and the kitchen, are crafted from a prized Top End timber that’s been milled and finished for this house alone. It’s extremely durable…. and particularly beautiful… It’s one of the great woods. It’s Ironwood. But this is not just a surprisingly secluded piece of Darwin. It has the calm of a sheltered Balinese family compound. It has no views to neighbouring houses. It’s next to a picture-book park and it’s walled with abundant foliage that keeps ambient noise at bay… It’s a gem. The new owners of 18 Martin Crescent will live openly, quietly and privately. In today’s hectic society, it’s nice to know… this way of life can still be bought.
