An incredibly distinctive home awaits

When it comes to the property market, there are many houses out there to choose from, and it’s not until that hidden treasure comes to market that the general public get a glimpse of those truly remarkable homes that have mostly been off the radar.

Nestled away in a quiet tree-lined court, 16 Foam Court, Torquay is a private three-bedroom hidden gem built by Dennehy Builders that has been refurbished to perfection with an unmatched and unique design style. Upon entry, this charming abode boasts an impressive games/rumpus room with a cosy open fire and stylish study/office ideal for those who want to work from home.

Positioned at the front of the house is the magnificent master bedroom featuring a generous ensuite and built-in robe.

At the rear of the home, you will find two further sizeable bedrooms with built-in robes, centralised around the family bathroom and separate powder room for optimal convenience.

McCartney Real Estate director Tim Carson said this home was a credit to the vendors who have presented this unique home in a very inspirational way.

“The thought and effort that has gone into the interior design has created an exceptional home that stands out from the crowd.

“Pictures don’t do it justice, you need to immerse yourself in the character of this home to truly appreciate the effort that has gone into this design, and of course, the result.”

The vendors explained that the original house had such great bones and potential to be something really special.

“We engaged local interior designer, Amelda Wilde to execute the design into a playful and immersive home with a nod to the nostalgia of the archetypal 1980s Torquay homes we grew up with,” the vendors said.

“The level of detail and consideration Amelda put into the design has seen the project shortlisted for the 2023 Dulux Colour Awards and 2023 Australian Interior Design Awards.

“Amelda worked closely with each trade to develop custom elements unique to this home.”

Ocean Grove Joinery created beautiful crosshair joinery to the expansive laundry cupboards, and all built-in robes and kitchen joinery have lovely green interiors.

Von Steel created an antiquity copper range hood and adjustable steel shelving to the family living room.

Precision Pool Tiling formed a concrete bath with mosaic Bisazza tiles like a mini pool in the main bathroom, and building work was completed by locals Quay Building Co.

The spacious open plan living and dining areas comprise a warm colour palette and are complimented by a beautiful new kitchen with Gaggenau appliances, an integrated fridge and dishwasher and a beautiful custom-made copper rangehood, giving the residence a wonderful, homely feel.

This glorious area flows seamlessly onto an amazing private courtyard with crazy paving and beautiful professionally designed low-maintenance Californian style gardens with established trees, providing privacy and the perfect place to spend an evening socialising with friends and family.

The home highlights modern tiled benchtops, an induction cooktop, tiled floors, remodelled bathrooms, central air conditioning, and a large functional laundry.

An attached two-car carport with storage and driveway offers great caravan or boat parking, ensuring you make the most of this generous 650sqm allotment.

Take advantage of the peaceful coastal lifestyle that the position of this home offers, located within walking distance to the beach, schools, shops, parks, cafes, restaurants, and amenities, this incredibly distinctive property ticks all the boxes.

The home has been featured on multiple blogs including The Design Files, Hunter & Folk and Home to Love.

It will also be published in multiple Australian and international magazines later this year and is presently shortlisted for several awards such as Australian Interior Design Awards 2023 (Residential Design), Australian Interior Design Awards 2023 (Hospitality Design) and for the Dulux Colour Awards 2023 – Finalist (Residential Design).
