Beachfront Architectural Wonder

- Designed by multi award-winning architects Casey Brown, Hart House is located on the idyllic shoreline of Great Mackerel Beach & was conceived as a modern interpretation of the classic Australian beach "love shack"
- Positioned ideally right above the water's edge, the home is orientated nor nor east to Lion Island, Barrenjoey Headland & the iconic Palm Beach coastline
- The architectural style delivers the illusion from inside that the house is floating directly on the water, giving a sense of freedom & peace
- The design & form endow the building with a corrugated aluminium shell protecting the home from the salt environment & winter southerlies whilst embracing the views & year-round sunshine
- The main space is a double height dining, kitchen & living room, the substantial elevation of which initially takes your breath away & literally gives rise to a feeling of generous openness that lasts well beyond your first impression
- Sleek, modern & functional kitchen basks in its light-filled position. ASKO dishwasher, SMEG electric oven & SIRIUS induction cooktop with pop-up exhaust, stainless steel benchtops, concrete island & large pantry are complemented by the sandstone barbeque, accessed via side door to the downstairs terrace
- Above, an open loft is a fanciful 3rd bedroom, ideal for children seeking a seaside adventure, far from the everyday
- The 2nd bedroom enjoys direct water views & has a dining terrace just outside
- Below, the master bedroom opens to a vast sandstone terrace, glorious in its aesthetic appeal. With polished render walls in the en-suite (shower & wc) plus generous robes, this is a master suite not easily matched
- Joinery throughout is spotted gum. Internal walls are clad in quality birch ply. Double LVL framing with eco insulation
- Balcony rail is marine grade polished stainless steel & mesh
- 12 solar panel array on the roof; full laundry; rear courtyard & workshop
- 1100 litre water tank which pumps to 2 x 23,000 litre main storage tanks
- One of only a handful of homes able to be accessed directly by private boat, you can pull your craft onto the beach below. Regular ferry service from Palm Beach to Mackerel ferry wharf provides ease of transport for guests
- More often than not, you will feel you have Mackerel Beach all to yourself, with the sound of the waves, the lyrebirds calling & varied wildlife on land & sea. Witness the reflection of moonrise in the water with stars & endless sky through the elevated ceiling.
