There was an inevitability to the design of 6 Seaside Avenue, Shell Cove, a stunning Hamptons-style home in a prime location near the marina.
“The owner grew up in the Hamptons in the US and wanted to bring a slice of that here,” Jeremy Hodder of Hodder Borg says.
“They’ve done a fantastic job, and it stands out among all the very modern homes in the area. It’s distinctive and very charming.”
The aesthetic is characterised by a crisp white colour palette punctuated by black finishes, tonnes of natural light, soaring ceilings, herringbone engineered-hardwood floors and timeless wainscoting.
Premium imported and handcrafted artisanal finishes can be found throughout, as well as ocean views from every level.
The heart of the home sits on the ground floor — an open plan kitchen, living and dining area.
The living space houses a custom mantel, gas fireplace and designer light fittings where one could happily spend the day with a good book.
Complete with European appliances, a massive island/breakfast bar and a separate butler’s pantry, the stylish kitchen is the ideal place to whip up family meals while not missing out on the action.
“The window in the kitchen looks out to the pool, so you can keep an eye on the kids if they go for a swim while you cook,” Jeremy says.
Fulfilling its promise of expansive indoor and outdoor living zones, the adjacent dining space flows seamlessly to the grand alfresco terrace, a space as ideally suited to cocktails and charcuterie as it is to a quiet morning coffee.
It is fringed by manicured gardens and overlooks the sparkling, heated swimming pool, and a dreamy swinging love chair situated under creeping roses.
“It’s a very easy home to entertain in, that’s for certain,” Jeremy says.
Also on this floor is an office, a separate sitting room, a laundry, a powder room, a front porch and a double-car garage complete with provisions for battery storage and EV charging.
Upstairs is yet another living space, the family room, connecting to a balcony with water views and five luxurious bedrooms.
The opulent main suite has a luxurious ensuite bathroom, a massive walk-in wardrobe and a private balcony – the perfect retreat.
Other handy features include three-zone ducted air-conditioning, home automation and solar panels.
Jeremy describes the home as a “rare opportunity to secure one of Shell Cove’s most luxurious residences in a highly sought-after location”.
“Despite feeling like a little private oasis, it’s a short walk to the waterfront and main shopping precinct. You can dine at the exclusive waterfront marina, meet friends for a hit of golf, or stroll along the many boardwalks to local cafes, shops and playgrounds,” he says.
“And across the road is the only swimmable beach in the marina — a tiny stretch of land called Gadhu Beach which is like a little pocket paradise.”
