3 Bedroom House in Encounter Bay

** All guests are welcomed with a bottle of SA wine and chocolate **
This New York loft-inspired two-storey home oozes industrial cool and is perfectly located on the esplanade at Encounter Bay. The modern architecture, concrete walls, stainless steel benchtops and pressed tin stairs are perfect for any traveller that appreciates interior design. The home is also pet friendly and features a great grassed area with entertaining space for warm summer nights.
This unique, contemporary, architect-designed two-storey property won an Urban Development Institute SA award. There is nothing else like it on the Fleurieu! With concrete tilt-up walls, commercial windows and big sliding doors upstairs and downstairs, and its feature floors, this property is spectacular. And that’s before we mention its esplanade frontage and incredible ocean views.
This property is on the esplanade at Encounter Bay and captures spectacular views from Granite Island to the Bluff, from both the front and side of the house. The views can be enjoyed from the kitchen, dining, living area and of course the deck upstairs, and from the downstairs deck, living area and one of the bedrooms.
When you arrive at this luxurious beach escape, you walk into the family room, full picture windows allow the ocean view and the light to stream in – you are so close to the beach you could skim stones from the front door – just 35 steps (approx.). This second living area has a big comfy lounge, HD TV, DVD and Wii gaming console – so it's a fantastic space for the kids to hang out leaving the adults to relax upstairs. This room has brilliant sea views. There are stainless steel sliding doors leading onto the front deck with a stunning view of the beach!
For entertainment and work (if you have to – though you definitely won't want to!), this property has high-speed Aussie Broadband Wi-Fi with unlimited downloads! There are two TVs (one upstairs and one downstairs) both with Netflix. You can watch unlimited free movies and TV series during your stay.
Elegantly simplistic in design, there are two double bedrooms downstairs both with built-in robes. The sparkling white main bathroom (with a separate shower and deep bath) separates the two rooms.
Upstairs is where the magic happens, and you won't be able to help but throw open the big aluminium and glass sliding doors and step out onto the eco-wood balcony to soak up as much of the stunning view as possible. An outdoor lounge and a BBQ (downstairs) make this the perfect entertaining or chilling space.
Inside there is an open-plan living area with a contemporary kitchen with European stainless-steel appliances, a dishwasher and a stainless-steel waterfall benchtop. Carefully planned windows (including a floor-to-ceiling bay window with the iconic “Three Pelicans” sculptures) provide views from every angle and allow the sun to illuminate the room. There is an open plan living dining area, with a table that seats 8 people. For entertainment, there is a 50″ HD LCD TV, stereo (with Bluetooth) and DVD, plus books, games and movies.
Polished oak timber floors flow through this top level and are the perfect accompaniment to the polished concrete feature walls, high-raked ceilings, brushed aluminium windows and LED lighting.
The light-filled master bedroom, located at the rear of the home (upstairs), has built-in robes plus an ensuite.
Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning is throughout the house. Power is provided by a solar system for an eco-friendly holiday.
The bedroom configuration is:
• Main Bedroom – 1 King size bed
• Second bedroom – 1 Queen size bed
• Third bedroom – 2 singles beds (bunk) and 1 double bed (standalone)
Please note that the property sleeps up to 6 adults only (the top bunk beds are not suitable for adults).
The beds will be freshly made for guest arrival with sheets, pillowcases and quilt covers. Bath towels, mats, hand towels and tea towels are all supplied.
There is a rear courtyard, with an eco deck, an outdoor dining table and chairs and a shade sail for sun protection. There is a sliding gate that enables parking in the rear courtyard. Alternatively, park on the gravel by the side of the house on Wood Street.
The front yard is completely enclosed with a wire mesh at 900mm high
Perfectly set up for your luxury South Coast holiday – just be careful because you may never want to leave!
