This stunning David Reid Showhome won a gold medal at the Master Builders Awards in 2007 and was lauded for its superb design, innovative ideas and technology. The two level residence's concrete block and Linea weatherboard construction has stood the test of time and has been immaculately maintained over the years. Inside, a grand entry foyer sets the scene for the liveable elegance to follow, where a 2.7m stud and overheight doors enhance the sense of space throughout. Warm American Oak floors are complemented with a stylish neutral colour palette.

The chef's kitchen, dining and lounge is a vast, open-plan space, with an 8m wall of glass doors connecting it to the al fresco living. Created with chefs in mind, the well-equipped kitchen boasts a thick Quarella island bench with waterfall edges, Italian tapware, an induction cooktop and a scullery, which boasts a second dish drawer. A handy study nook can be closed off when required.

A LouvreTec canopy, pull down sides and a glass door create an enclosed outdoor living space on the deck, which is warmed by a wood burning fireplace. On one side, the deck extends the length of the northern side and showcases panoramic sea and estuary views, while on the other, a private garden offers another picturesque place to sit.

Two bedrooms upstairs are serviced by the family bathroom. The master retreat has a sitting area, fabulously designed dressing room and its own luxurious ensuite with spa bath. The 2nd living area on this level has a double wardrobe so can also easily be utilised as a 4th bedroom. Downstairs offers internal access to the carpeted double garage, laundry and guest accommodation. With its own bathroom, outdoor access and patio, this offers appealing options for independent living.
