When you think of luxurious Australian homes, you’re likely to conjure up images of mansion-like Melbourne apartments, or the soaring prices of Sydney terraces. How often do you think of Rockhampton?
This multi-award winning home is about to change that.
25 Bayview Drive in the Rockhampton suburb of Lammermoor has won two awards, including Residential Home Over $900,000 from the Queensland Master Builders Association (QMBA) in Central Queensland.
This architecturally-designed home’s hilltop position (which earned it Best Use of a Sloping Block from QMBA) affords unimpeded views of the ocean that sits just a few hundred metres away.
The three-storey home, set on a 779 square metres, features five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a two-car garage, as well as a pool and a dedicated media room.
The ground floor is split between an enormous teenagers’ retreat (one of the five bedrooms) and a grand foyer entrance with a gorgeous spiral staircase at its heart.
The first floor is given over to the remaining four bedrooms and both bathrooms, with access to the two-car garage from this level.
The master suite is fit for a luxury hotel, with a walk-in robe, epoxy concrete marble-effect floors and a circular bath at the foot of the bed to take full advantage of the view.
In the ensuite, you’ll find dual statement sinks and a massive double shower.
The other bedrooms are decidedly moodier, with dark carpet and furnishings; all feature air-conditioning, built-in wardrobes and wall-mounted TVs.
The main bathroom is no less opulent than the master suite, with grand steps leading to a bath with a view, and a statement glass sink.
The first floor is also home to an infinity pool with built-in spa and ocean views.
The theme of red and black accents continues throughout the house, with no room left untouched.
The second floor of the home features the main living areas, kitted out with Tasmanian oak timber floors, including an open-plan kitchen/living/dining room and a secluded area for formal dining.
This space also gives more opportunity to embrace modernity, with the kitchen bench serving half as a breakfast bar and half as an art display. And if you’re worried about carrying the groceries up the stairs, don’t be; there’s a 50kg grocery dumbwaiter lift to do all the hard work for you.
There’s plenty of room to relax or entertain, with a lounging area to show off the magnificent view of the ocean, and access to an tiled entertainment area and outdoor barbecue space.
A tiered media room with a Panasonic projector and surround sound creates the perfect at-home cinema experience.
25 Bayview Drive, Lammermoor, will go to auction on Sunday, August 27 2017 at 11am. For a house this opulent, prices are expected to soar.
