21 Schopolo Place, Schnapper Rock, North Shore

Architect-designed resort paradise

Heavenly in the exclusive Schnapper Rock suburb, this beautifully landscaped 1506 sqm (more or less) property is a tranquil slice of paradise. It captures close-up 180 degree views across Lucas Creek from every room.

Mature sub-tropical gardens cascade down the site from an inspired contemporary 347 sqm (more or less) home, cleverly designed by architect Francesco Tonetti to float lightly above the landscape. Super-generous, airy living/dining/entertaining areas open up to the view on one aspect and extend to a resort-like outdoor living area on the other with a covered dining patio, lawn and 10m heated pool. An extra high ceiling with clerestorey windows adds volume and the double-side fireplace keeps you warm along with vented central heating. Sheltered decks across all living areas and four bedrooms on two levels invite you to bask in the sun.

The sleek kitchen is enormous with a 4m long island bench, a natural draw-card for entertaining with a scullery for additional storage.

A separate wing on the main level accommodates three bedrooms including the master with walk-in robe and ensuite with sculptural freestanding egg bath. Floating stairs descend to a fourth bedroom/office and third bathroom plus another versatile living area and room-sized storage. The gym is positioned so you can exercise and be mesmerised by that glorious view.

Built between 2000 and 2009 and solidly constructed of Titan board and Linea weatherboard reinforced by extensive steel beams, the home has been superbly crafted with a high level of finish throughout. Large off street parking complements double garaging.

With its peaceful country vibe, it feels like world's away but this spectacular property is easily accessed by the motorway with Albany 10 minutes away and the CBD about 20 minutes drive. Handy to Kristin School and top public schools. Paradise awaits.
