Dwell here. By KATE FARRELLY Balgowlah Heights 18 Bungaloe Avenue $3.7 million Agent: Cunninghams Real Estate James Haywood 0402 897 660 Clean and stylish aesthetic with a f lood of natural light Owner Steven Coulter says the best part of his entire build was watching his builder crane in the massive steel i-beams that would form the skeleton of his two-storey home. Set on a hillside in a coveted pocket not far from North Harbour Reserve, the home was built in 2014 by Anchor Building Co. “Angus put all of the beams in place over a three-day period and not one bolt was out of line, it was unbelievable,” Coulter says. “To watch a residential structure get built with such skill was a real privilege. Angus was kind of critical to the success of this block.” The home is clearly finding a new set of fans, with agent James Haywood showing 74 groups through the property since the campaign launch two weeks ago. Perhaps the home’s most outstanding feature, alongside the exposed steel beams, is its northern exposure. It’s a wet, grey morning when <strong>dwell</strong> visits the five-bedroom property yet natural light floods effortlessly into every room. Coulter says his aim with the floorplan was for the whole length of the house to encompass a northern aspect and architect Kerry McGrath has more than met the brief. In winter the sun plays a big part in the home’s thermal properties, heating up the steel and concrete, while in summer, generous The trees provide privacy and are also a sanctuary for birdlife. eaves and adjustable shutters and awnings keep the house cool. The sharp, clean aesthetic of white walls and swathes of glass is balanced by goldenhued, blackbutt floors at entry level and a fabulous easterly view to a stand of tall gums lining the property boundary. The trees provide privacy and are also a sanctuary for birdlife, and create a terrific backdrop to the solar-heated pool. Coulter says the pool and alfresco entertaining areas made for memorable summers when his kids were younger. Of course it’s nice to have space away from the kids too and the thoughtful floorplan delivers with a master suite at entry level and the remaining bedrooms on the lower floor. Of these, one is a studio set-up with its own en suite and separate entry making it ideal for an au pair, as a guest bedroom or a home office. For Coulter, it was the perfect size for setting up an impressive home gym. If you’re consistent with the workouts, tackling the surrounding hilly streets won’t seem so daunting! It’s a 600-metre walk to 40 Beans café where you can sip your flat white gazing over the harbour, and a 15-minute walk to Forty Baskets Beach or to Dobroyd Headland where the bush trails offer sensational views and the dogs can play off-leash.
