2 Bedroom House For Sale in Parkhurst
A truly unique contemporary masterpiece that seamlessly blends past and present. Featured in national and international publications upon its completion, this architectural gem pays homage to its Parkhurst setting and vintage origins while embracing modern innovation.
Designed with a deliberate focus on four key elements—concrete, steel, glass, and wood—the home thoughtfully integrates contemporary design with the character of the original structure. Carefully sourced, custom-manufactured elements and sophisticated finishes create a sense of authenticity, warmth, and refined elegance throughout.
The ingeniously understated street façade offers a hint of the extraordinary space that lies beyond. Three bold steps lead from street level to a simple palisade fence, providing a glimpse of the wild, naturalistic front garden and the inviting entrance. This design subtly echoes the past, reminiscent of a time when all Parkhurst homes faced the street.
Stepping through the striking solid black pivot door, you enter an awe-inspiring entrance hallway—an almost invisible "glass box" bridging the main home to the left with the separate studio or well-fitted office to the right. A wall of glass ahead frames a breathtaking view of the Zen-inspired pond, water feature, and lush garden beyond.
The light-filled, open-plan indoor living and entertainment area is designed for effortless flow. White walls amplify the natural light streaming in from custom-made skylights, abundant windows, and glass doors. The striking monochromatic contrast of white walls against dark wood and black finishes enhances the sense of spaciousness, while the interplay of smooth terrazzo floors and textured walls adds depth and interest.
At the heart of the home, the superbly integrated kitchen features bespoke black cabinetry with elegantly crafted drawers and cupboards, exuding understated sophistication. Double sliding doors create a seamless connection across the central water feature, leading to the primary outdoor entertainment and pool area on one side and an intimate smoker’s nook and herb garden with a built-in pizza oven on the other. A well-appointed pantry, utility, and laundry room add functionality, doubling as a convenient prep and wash-up area for entertaining.
The crisp and spacious main bedroom offers a luxurious full en-suite bathroom filled with carefully curated details, as well as an imaginatively designed, generously sized dressing room. The second occasional guest bedroom (presently used as the gym room and a beautifully renovated bathroom complete the main house. Additionally, a separate and fully equipped guest suite or teenager’s cottage, complete with a private entrance and a fitted gym room, enhances the home’s versatility.
A state-of-the-art air conditioning and temperature control system ensures year-round comfort, while a top-of-the-line solar backup inverter system provides peace of mind.
One of the most exceptional aspects of this home is its seamless connection to the outdoors. Every room opens onto a courtyard or garden space, enhancing the sense of openness and versatility. The reception area, studio, and main-house bedrooms flow effortlessly onto the central pond, garden, and entertainment area, complete with a uniquely designed fire tower. The front entrance leads to a magical chill-out space surrounding a fire pit, cleverly enclosed by lush greenery for privacy while maintaining a beautiful connection to the street. The kitchen opens onto the herb garden and pizza oven area, while the separate suite enjoys its courtyard with direct access from the bedroom back to the pool area and main garden.
This remarkable home is a masterclass in design, balancing innovation with heritage, luxury with warmth, and privacy with connectivity—creating an extraordinary living experience in the heart of Parkhurst.
