It’s a showstopper of a place, on all levels – including the locale which is a five-minute saunter from The Strand waterfront, and Bay Trail West wending through Greenwich Reserve, hugging the coast for kilometres. Schools and cafes surround, and Southbank via M1 is just 12 minutes away.
Let’s begin the journey by heading up a spectacular timber staircase to the lavish grey-carpeted main bedroom, which has two walls of top-notch joinery, and city views from a balcony. The sublime en suite has striking Italian tiling in the shower, plus a floating twin-basin vanity.
As up here and all through, the palette is soft-greys and white, with stylish timber accents a counterpoint to the misty-cool tones. A mix of matte boards and hydronically heated concrete forms the flooring, while wonderfully drifty fabric dresses huge windows, plantation shutters the others.
A seat within the curved bay window stacks on the charm in one of the three bedrooms downstairs. Each has floorboards and a split-system, and share an Italian-tiled bathroom with a Kado Lux tub.
An open lounge room precedes the gob-smacking living domain. The dining zone in here sits under a towering ceiling, with massive glass walls seeming to float just above the 10-metre lap pool and spa in an area whose beauty will only increase.
As sharp and seamless as could be, the kitchen fulfils the dream of a pukka butler’s pantry, storage galore, and entertainment cred in spades – accompanied by a suite of Siemens appliances.
SONOS sound, smart wiring, CCTV security, two fireplaces, and off-street parking for three cars put a touch more sparkle in a dazzling property.
