2 Ernesta Place, Bella Vista NSW 2153

Some homes impress with their finishes. Others with their scale. Very few leave you wondering how something like this was ever created. Welcome to an extraordinary architectural showpiece where dramatic proportions, uncompromising craftsmanship and resort-inspired living come together in spectacular fashion. From the moment the towering front door opens, the experience is immediate. Soaring double-height voids, walls of glass, sculptural timber detailing and an incredible floating staircase create a sense of scale rarely encountered in a private residence. Natural light pours through the home, while stone, timber, glass and bespoke joinery have been layered with precision to create interiors that are bold, sophisticated and unmistakably individual. At the heart of the residence, an expansive open-plan living environment is anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling feature fireplace and spectacular designer kitchen. Oversized proportions, integrated appliances, extensive custom cabinetry and a statement island create a space equally suited to everyday family life or entertaining on a grand scale. Walls of glass dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, revealing a resort-inspired sanctuary complete with swimming pool and spa, stepping stones, outdoor shower and an incredible cascading waterfall. A substantial covered alfresco pavilion with outdoor kitchen completes an entertaining environment designed to be enjoyed throughout the seasons. Upstairs, beautifully appointed accommodation, private balconies and an exceptional master domain continue the experience, complemented by bespoke dressing-room cabinetry and a spa-inspired ensuite. Add a dedicated private cinema and an extraordinary level of custom detailing throughout, and this is a residence that needs to be experienced to be fully appreciated. This isn't a home designed to follow trends. It was designed to set the benchmark.
