This is a home built today and tomorrow.
Completed four months ago, it lays the foundation for a contemporary living space that meets the owner’s present and future needs. Designed to be smart, sustainable, and resilient in its composition, it is set within a gated upscale neighbourhood in Richmond, St Ann, and offers privacy and an escape from the ordinary.
A palette of white and grey defines the interiors. Architecturally, glass-railed balconies meet intricate stone-clad columns, and impact-resistant sliding glass windows and doors modernise the structure’s outward appearance. The driveway grabs your attention with its concrete pavers and grass growing in between. The swimming pool features a wonderful waterfall feature, and a built-in hot tub. A covered outdoor entertainment area and a half basketball court complete the space, affording year-round enjoyment.
The outside effortlessly flows to the inside via the verandahs, flowing into the living area, with its glass wall fireplace, and dining and island kitchen areas, featuring a quartz countertop and durable aluminium cabinetry. The home also includes two half-bathrooms and a garage with an automated door.
A floating glass-railed staircase ascends to the upper floor, which offers glimpses of the sea, with four air-conditioned bedrooms, each with king-sized beds and private balconies. Their bathrooms are a mix of soaking tubs and glass-enclosed rain showers.
The 3,790-square-foot home sits on an 8,655-square-foot lot and features porcelain tiled floors, dazzling tray ceilings with recessed lights, and smart home technology activating areas such as lighting with the touch of a button.
Drawn to the unfamiliar, many seek spaces that break from convention. This home answers that call, expressing a distinct sense of individuality.
