77 Malabar Rd, South Coogee NSW 2034, Australia

Hidden away from the hustle and bustle of Coogee Beach but reassuringly close to the action, this sun-filled family home is immersed in nature with a perfect north aspect bringing in the sunshine. The home unfolds over three levels and is wrapped in a series of landscaped outdoor zones with spaces to relax, entertain or retreat and a huge child-friendly backyard that’s rare to find so close to the beach. Leafy greenery all around underscores a sense of harmony and wellbeing while beautifully curated interiors bring a warm, textural quality with finishes in oak and stone and polished concrete that echo its urban beach setting. Soaring double height ceilings reach up to the sky and bring a dramatic sense of space while a five-bedroom layout is designed to adapt to changing family needs and complete with a parents’ retreat conceived as a luxurious private sanctuary and a self-contained studio with its own private entry. Conceived and built by Gardner Design & Construction, this is a home tailor-made for relaxed family living and entertaining with a state-of-the-art kitchen as the social heart and a home office or sixth bedroom while ducted air and hydronic floor heating provide year-round comfort.
