This property is glamourous, understated, spacious and fashionable. It feels like a Malibu beach house, yet it’s located on the border of two of the most lauded postcodes in Melbourne — Newport and Williamstown. It’s a stroll away from Douglas Parade shopping and a lazy walk to The Strand and the waterfront. Built by Duobuilt’s Jess Nardella, designed by D.E Atlier architects and finished by a fashion stylist with a boho-minimalist aesthetic, the house is finished with taste, style and fashion-forward attention to detail. A in-ground solar-heated pool with spaces for entertaining, including a

Auction: April 29 at 12.30pm plumbed-in barbecue, is accessed through stunning floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors. Imagine entertaining in the expansive and envy-inducing open-plan living zone with double-height ceilings – or perhaps by the gas fireplace lounge or in the kitchen with huge square island bench with seating for three. The kitchen has marble benchtops and splashbacks with Smeg appliances, soft-closing cabinetry and a plumbed-in butler’s pantry (where the same finishes continue) with garage access. Ducted heating and cooling, video intercom, alarm, ceiling fans, built-in surround sound in the living zone and main
bedroom, pay TV wiring and a sprinkler system have all been seen to. Solid Tasmanian oak flooring has been used throughout the hall and main living area. Walk to the front of the property from the living zone and discover a cleverly concealed storage wall that slides open to the side of oversized floating Tasmanian oak steps. These lead to the main bedroom on the right. A large, open bedroom with floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors leading to the second outdoor entertaining area is a calming space. The walk-through-wardrobe opens up to the en suite with feature atrium and a double-sized frameless shower.

A full-sized laundry off the hall to the left is followed by the stunning main bathroom with a further atrium, free-standing bath and frameless shower. Three further, large bedrooms with 3.4-metre ceilings and bespoke built-in wardrobes and a second living room with angled ceiling (3.6-metres) complete this practical, no-fuss chic floorplan. The property has a single garage, off-street parking for two more cars and remote-controlled gate access. This Alma Terrace property sets a benchmark for style and quality in the postcode.
