Devonport's renowned Geoff Richards Architects designed this stunning, funky home in 2002 providing an easy flow for a busy, growing family. Geoff Richards was asked to return in 2018 (CCC issued 2019) to expand their vision resulting in a spacious 241sqm home (on a freehold site) where high ceilings, double glazing and skylights enhance the 'atrium' feel of living areas, and a spacious deck provides full outdoor expansion.

This contemporary, two-level home is visual masterpiece designed to appear to float mid-air while easily melding with the landscape, capturing views over the ever-changing upper reaches of Ngataringa Bay and the city beyond, by day and night.
The light-filled interior flows seamlessly out to the rich tones of plantation hardwood decking, bordered by magnolia trees giving year-round greenery and privacy. Open to full northern skies the deck is weather proofed with a translucent, motorised retractable roof over the pergola allowing for all-season living and entertainment area ......no more anxious forecast watching when you invite guests for dinner! A hidden area of the deck has been pre-strengthened and pre-wired for a discrete outdoor hot tub/spa pool for relaxation under the stars.
Rare in Devonport, internal access garaging complete with a generous, rear storage room for large volumes of seasonal recreational necessities and the few tools necessary for the low-maintenance gardens. A ground-level, private access 4th bedroom with ensuite is the perfect escape for growing teens or for the privacy of visiting friends or family.
This home reflects the timelessness of thoughtful architectural design - and the beneficial investment in creating breathable, light-filled open living spaces for families. I strongly recommend that you make an early appointment to visit: this home is indeed a unique statement in Devonport and is certain to generate keen interest.
