FEATURE HOME: Coatesville
Coatesville Stunner - lifestyle living at its very best 66 Mahoenui Valley Road – For Sale by Tender – Closes October 12th Aaron Reid of Barfoot & Thompson is marketing this superb home located in the Coatesville dress circle on Mahoenui Road. The 2.66 hectare property is For Sale by Tender. This closes on October 12th. The 1120 square metre masonry home is on two levels and there is also a heated pool and pool house, five car garaging and tennis court. This is lifestyle living at its very best and is just 25 minutes from the CBD, two mins to Coatesville Primary, cafes and the pony club. The property that is situated up a tree lined driveway in a soughtafter location has recently been completely remodelled. The brief was formulated by virtue of a collaborative discussion between a client with a vision and a designer able to articulate the changes that would provide the best opportunity for a contemporary redevelopment with a limited material palette. This resulted in the original 430 square metre home being transformed into a grand and noteworthy dwelling of 1120 square metres. The brief developed into the realisation of a journey through a built environment that unveils multiple features and spaces to pause and reflect. The design is characterised by rectilinear gable roof forms on two axis with a strong symmetrical connection linking the entry and garage with the kitchen, informal living, the pool and pool house and anchored at the tip with a landscaped water feature. Upstairs the master bedroom and living space stretch along an intersecting axis and visually connect to the main axis either side of the main gable roof form. Intersecting the main axis and perpendicular is a hallway that links the west wing containing formal lounge, media room and games room with three bedrooms, bathrooms and service spaces. The design can be appreciated best by views from the pool house where the repeating gable form is clearly expressed and vertical cedar highlights the bold design components. A feature is a large travertine-lined double height entry with Bali reflection pool and plastered white spiral winding staircase leading to the master bedroom and master living. The dark oak kitchen and butlers kitchen are expressed with touches of polished brass and a black and white marble granite island bench-top with brass kick panel. There is an informal living room and alfresco covered patio connecting to the T-shaped pool and pool deck. The pool shape reflects on the dual axis design. The pool house has a gym, sauna and steam room at one end, a guest bed and bathroom at the other, juxtaposed with the repeating gable form housing an indoor/outdoor living area beautifully lined with a western red cedar ceiling folded into the walls to express the bar/ BBQ space and central fireplace. The gable roof position is reflected in

the width of the pool. The west wing formal lounge features engineered dark oak flooring in a herring-bone pattern. A central fireplace focusses the room with a feature wall of rich red/orange travertine.
