Inspired by French classical design, this house impresses with its unique vision. Interior designer John Coote, architect Rob Mills and antiques guru Graham Geddes contributed to the grand interiors. High, curved ceilings set the scene for the formal living and dining rooms, while French doors connect the family zone to a north-facing courtyard with picture-perfect Paul Bangay gardens.
How’s the serenity at this newly built Lake Heron gem? Boasting almost 20 metres of water frontage, the single-level home impresses with an easy-living floor plan, tactile finishes and elegant curves. There’s a Bosch-appointed kitchen with a four-metre island bench, a sunken media room with a coffered ceiling and a covered terrace overlooking the pool and waterfront deck.
Cascading terraces and evergreen views are the standout features of this 1940s classic. Reimagined by Travis Walton, the two-level house is on a sloping site overlooking a dream-like pool. The lower-level family room and striking marble kitchen flow effortlessly to a terrace and mature garden – summer soirees will be special. “It holds a timeless appeal,” the agent says.
