Once in a blue moon, a home of such astounding opulence emerges to redefine the word “masterpiece”. Rich in superlatives, 40 Dovers Drive, Port Kembla must be seen to be believed.
The architecturally designed home is billed as a “marriage of brutalist, industrial and Mediterranean coastal styles”, characterised by awe-inspiring scale, soaring ceilings and expansive concrete, imported wide Dekton tiles and dolomite marble juxtaposed by the softness of linen curtains and beams of abundant natural light.
The jaw-dropping luxury inclusions start in the “garden level” of this five-bedroom, three-bathroom residence set across three levels on 1138 sqm. Glide via a ramp down into the basement garage showroom with space for six vehicles, a turntable, solar power and a Tesla battery.
This is the level where desire becomes reality, with a walk-in wine cellar, state-of-the-art sauna and cold plunge for deep relaxation, home office and abundant storage. It is also the gateway to an expansive guest bar and lounge, which in turn opens up to a resort-style waterfront mineral pool, coastal garden, firepit, terrace and courtyard.
“This space brings entertaining to a whole new level,” Rise Property Group’s Daniel Kostovski says.
A lift on this level takes you to the upper two levels, where the grandeur continues.
The entry level is the heart of the home, featuring the first of multiple architecturally striking living and dining rooms.
Here, floor-to-ceiling Vitrocsa windows – designed to blend indoor and outdoor spaces – reveal uninterrupted, panoramic ocean views that will leave you speechless.
“Not many homes in the South Coast can boast a view north to Wollongong, where you can see the lighthouse and southeast all the way to Shellharbour,” Daniel says.
On this level, the striking layout and impeccable finishes become abundantly clear. They enhance the flow of air and natural light, while alfresco spaces and interiors merge seamlessly to blur the lines of nature and art.
The gourmet kitchen, with its Miele and Sub Zero appliances and massive butler’s pantry, will be a joy for the home cook to use as they take in the sights and sounds of the waves just beyond.
There is a laundry, more storage, a media/living room with a massive built-in television and a stunning atrium-style undercover al fresco dining space, evoking Aperol and salt-air soaked afternoons with friends.
Up once more to the top level is a master suite of unparalleled luxury, including an ensuite bathroom with a double rain shower and a deep standalone tub gazing out to the big blue, and a dressing room/wardrobe of lavish dimensions and display.
All on this level are another three generous bedrooms, another bathroom of decadent marble, and a study/living space.
Ideally positioned at the top of the Port Kembla headlands, only steps to the beaches, lookout and amenities, every nook, corner and cranny invites you to linger. The many conveniences and comforts of this stunning family residence can be controlled with the touch of a button thanks to a smart home system.
“This is without a doubt one of the most exclusive homes in the South Coast Illawarra region. It ticks all the boxes for a high-end dream home in a spectacular location,” Daniel says.
“Port Kembla was a hidden gem for a long time, but between the stunning beaches, pools, parks, amenities and the rejuvenation of the area in local times, I think it’s the next Wollongong county in line to become the lifestyle choice of local and out-of-area buyers.”
