The brief to McGregor Westlake Architecture was to create a luxurious beachside home where the structure blends into the landscape and also frames the ever-changing view over Port Stephens. The final product is a home where the vast interior spaces are spanned with a structural efficiency that allows for an amazing view of the water from almost anywhere in the home. This stunning family getaway has a dramatic timber-screened front entrance and travertine flooring throughout the entire lower storey. Ascending the gorgeous timber stair case is where the essence of what makes this home so special is revealed. The expansive glassed living area and master suite hover above the landscape and reveal a true panorama from Yacaaba Headland to Barnes Rocks. The polished timber floors are both beautiful and practical and offer a warmness to the space, in contrast to the cooler block and render construction of the walls. The home is cleverly zoned with the guest rooms accessed via a few steps to the rear of the home plus an ensuited guest room on the lower level. A second spacious living area with kitchenette is also located on the ground floor and opens onto a paved patio, then to the private rear garden. The passive solar design takes full advantage of the cooling sea breeze and allows the home to breathe. Custom joinery throughout the home provides discreet and ample storage and negates the need for many individual pieces of furniture. Timber decks adjoining the living area and kitchen complete this one of a kind gem. Appropriately named "Amaroo" which has different meanings across several cultures - for our vendors its "belonging to and ours" and to our First Nations people it means "a beautiful place". Amaroo will hold many treasured memories for the extended family as they welcome a new family to create their special moments in the years to come. This is a rare opportunity to make this beautiful place yours. Seldom do homes of this calibre come onto the market, call now to inspect one of the area’s most premiere properties.
