Individual home from $450,000 up to $600,000
Kara Close, Kamerunga
Showcasing on-trend style and relaxed sophistication, this stunning new designer home captures the essence of modern North Queensland living. Positioned on a 973m² block with a beautiful mountain aspect, every detail has been considered – from the timber look floors and soaring ceilings to the luxe waterfall kitchen island and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The expansive open-plan living area is flooded with natural light and connects effortlessly to a spacious entertaining deck complete with outdoor kitchen, sparkling above ground pool.
A beautifully appointed master suite replete with ensuite WIR and make up station opens to the deck and pool. The flexible layout with second living area and study can double as 4th & 5th bedrooms, making the home as practical, as it is elegant. The sleek kitchen features, bespoke cabinetry, designer fixtures and bar to make cooking and entertaining a joy.
Due to the allotment contour, a variety of construction methods were utilized including monolithic beam slab/stepdown wall, (with the intent of creating a rustic feature of the concrete structure), reinforced Masonry block, lightweight structural steel/timber subfloor, lightweight timber wall frames, and a combination of structural steel/metal purlin and timber truss roof frame, this project had it all covered!
Given the property is positioned within a level 2 noise corridor, the acoustic upgrades incorporated are unprecedented, wall/ceilings/sub-floors/upgraded glazing included. The use of panel cladding to external walls and gable ends really provides a nice simplistic appeal. The rear patio has been designed for an entertaining family, capturing the beautiful natural backdrop. A custom built in situ concrete pool with porcelain coping tiles, glass pool fencing/balustrade really is a beautiful statement piece to top it off.
