THE SPACE

Chisholm House by Richard Smith Architect is an award-nominated family home designed to make the most of its unrivalled location. Situated on a large and private bush block, the north-facing house features views east to Avalon Beach and west to Pittwater, enjoying a unique sunrise-to-sunset aspect.

The home’s stunning brick exterior is complemented by its warm timber-clad interior. With views from every room (including sunrise from the master bedroom) and multiple outdoor areas, including a breezy east-facing deck, shady western terrace and casual fire pit, this is a home that is perfectly equipped for a summer getaway.

The lower level features cooling concrete floors, bespoke timber joinery and either water or bush views from every window. On this level there are two bedrooms (each with a jump-through window box to a sun-dappled terrace), a bathroom with walk-in shower, casual second living area and open-plan office that leads onto a limestone-paved entertaining terrace. You’ll also have access to a stylish laundry with Miele washer and dryer and ample storage.

On the upper lever, a timber-clad oasis awaits. The solid Australian hardwood timber kitchen features Smeg appliances, stunning concrete benchtops and aged brass tapware – with its long island bench, it is the perfect place to socialise. The adjoining dining area, with its custom-designed charred oak dining table, is the epitome of indoor/outdoor living. Large glass doors slide back to open the space completely up to the garden and views beyond.

If you can distract yourself from the view of the oversized natural boulders beyond, the living space features shelves filled with books for lazy summer day reading and a large TV with streaming services available. Also on this upper level is a luxurious daybed area with custom leather upholstery.

The master suite features a king-size bed, walk-in-wardrobe and hotel-style open-plan bathroom. Soak in the claw-foot bath or open the glass sliding door and enjoy the alfresco shower that opens onto a beautiful private garden.

Offering architectural design and a unique experience of both the bush and beach, this home has everything for the perfect summer holiday.
