This stunning beachside acreage has recently undergone a complete metamorphosis. It has been an absolute pleasure for us at Modern Tiles Erina to be a part of the transformation.
From taking ownership in 2015, the owners had plans to turn the acreage into a private oasis, taking advantage of the prime coastal location.
Highlighted in the home’s resurrection, is the lengths the homeowners went to produce this stunning abode, with a re-imagined floor plan and an exceptional fitout.
The owners had specific ideas on how they wanted to present their home. They were an absolute dream to work with over the length of the renovation. We used their well thought out ideas and presented options for the bathrooms, pool and pool house, living areas, kitchen, driveway and entry.
The journey into this residence begins at the driveway. The driveway was transformed from concrete to a durable, textured surface using diamond black granite cobblestone. The granite cobbles are known for their strength and ability to withstand high traffic areas and were an easy choice for this application. The look offers a classic old-world charm that is comfortable in both traditional and modern landscapes.
The homes formal entry is highlighted with a patterned tile that has been bordered with a complimentary tile, creating an open and warm welcome into the home. The same pattern has been laid in the powder room and laundry for continuity within these areas of the home.
We were able to showcase a range of Carrara marble in the main living areas, the opulent ensuites and main bathroom.
The main ensuite – being the first of two ensuites in the home, is a stunning space with a wall of fan shaped marble. The feature wall hides the two-way shower and creates a focal point in the bathroom. The bath is enhanced by the use of alternate colour floor tiles, cementing it as the centre-of-attention of this room!
The main bathroom is tiled in a Carrara honed subway, laid individually in a herringbone pattern, creating an enduring appearance in a classic style. Hats off to the tiler whose intricate work helped shape this stunning look!
Indoor living areas have been tiled in a Carrara marble with a tumbled edge which compliments the sophisticated style the owners wanted to achieve. It is timeless, it is stylish and it is luxurious.
There is a seamless transition from indoor to outdoor living where Java gold marble was used. Java gold is continued around the pool and pool copping, the external BBQ and entertaining area of the pool house. There is no doubt of the ageless element and connection to nature that natural stone and marble give to a space.
The pool is tiled with glass mosaics and has created an idyllic spot to relax and take in the grand proportions of the property.
Entering the pool house, you are immediately struck by the grand fireplace taking centre stage and rightly so. Clad in natural stone, each individual piece is cut and shaped to fit the space. It is simply a work of art.
After stamping their style on this remarkable property, it was time for the owners to move on to their next project. While they enjoyed the process of the large-scale renovation, and the luxurious escape they created, they were ready for the new owners to make it their own place to love and create memories. Which will not be a difficult undertaking!
