McKimm masterpiece, contemporary classic

Simple in design yet breathtaking in scope, this Nick McKimm-created contemporary spin on Mid-Century Modern superbly captures the timeless spirit of
an era. The intrinsic rawness of glass, concrete, steel and natural timber propels this recently constructed 5 bedroom family home into instant classic
territory.
Providing a strong structural presence from street level, the impact is immediate. Upon entry, the pool and garden gloriously come into play as a thrilling focal point with a direct line of sight to the very back of the block. Immersed in natural light, the whole home has been conceived and constructed with uncomplicated flow and key zoning front of mind.
The ground floor features substantial spaces including a formal lounge room showcasing bespoke shelving, a double garage with internal access, powder room, a privately positioned bedroom and en suite, and the warm tones of American oak in a home office that will have you skipping your daily commute.
The home then spectacularly opens up to reveal super-sized open-plan living and dining, a Miele kitchen with in situ concrete island bench and a cleverly concealed butler’s pantry.
Punctuated by walls of glass, the depth and symmetry of the living spaces connect seamlessly with the outdoors. Take advantage of a sheltered and spacious all-weather patio with built-in BBQ, integrated shelving and handy powder room. Watch the heat go out of the day as family and friends enjoy the pool, spa and manicured gardens.
Head upstairs and be charmed by the modernist lightwell above the staircase, another understated touch that just feels right. All four remaining bedrooms make best use of the block’s northerly aspects with floor-to-ceiling glass providing sublime views of garden and pool.
Thoughtfully detailed and deliberated, the main bedroom features a large, concealed dressing room with specialised shoe shelving, full length mirror and dressing table. A sleek en suite boasts an oversized shower and an oval-shaped, free-standing tub.
The exclusive address simply speaks for itself. Positioned on one of Bayside’s finest streets between Middle Brighton Beach and Church Street’s boutique shopping, take a short stroll to the train station and local schools. Make plans to inspect with the whole family today!
