A twist on a classic like no other, this ultra-chic home has been created to blend in with the surrounding tropical landscape and create an elegant sanctuary in the heart of fashionable, community friendly Parap.
This brand new elevated home is the winner of multiple categories in the NT's prestigious HIA awards for 2012. The concept took into account the owners' desire to capture and maximise cooling breezes all year round and to design a home that would respect the architectural history of Parap. It was thus decided to use and improve on a vintage, time-tested tropical Darwin design and include designer finishes to project an understated but still luxurious ambiance.
Stunning bamboo floors feature through the entire upstairs area whilst Italian ceramic flooring downstairs provides a sophisticated look and feel. Louvred windows and high ceilings on both levels maximise natural ventilation and passive cooling, while still respecting the unique Darwin style of this elevated 4 bedroom home.
The magnificent neutrally toned kitchen has gorgeous Caesar stone benches, and a 5 burner gas stove for the professional chef.
Designer Danish light fittings create a statement piece in the dining area and the vaulted ceilings through the living areas provide a decadent sense of space. This area opens out to the large tree-house style deck which is shaded by stunning Poinciana trees and overlooks the wonderful gardens and pool.
The award winning main bathroom serves the two upstairs bedrooms and the other two bedrooms on the lower level share the pleasure of an elegant courtyard bathroom.
For absolute relaxation; the large poolside cabana and sparkling saltwater pool provide another space to enjoy and has a resort style feel, surrounded by exotic landscaping that compliments the mature trees.
With just a short stroll to the Parap Market and nearby schools, and a gentle downhill walk to the sailing club and Vesteys Beach, this magnificent property is a house like no other and is certain to impress the discerning executive buyer.
