This grandly proportioned master built residence more than fulfils the requirements of today's sophisticated global buyer. Sprawling across two expansive light-filled levels, it doubles as both a tranquil oasis and entertainer's dream, all minutes from the CBD, all amenities and Sydney's most famous beaches. Not only is the home in a premium Eastern Suburbs location but on a site so elevated as to grant the added bonus of panoramic Sydney Harbour, city and ocean views from the rooftop terrace. As an architect-designed ultra-contemporary home 10 Aboukir Street presents the ultimate luxury modern lifestyle. Latest high-end fittings and fixtures are found throughout, and construction overall demonstrates rarely seen attention to even the smallest detail. The lower level offers vast and impressive open plan living, dining and entertaining areas, made all the more opulent by large travertine tiles. An impressive touch is the see-through fish tank expertly custom-built to form an elegant partition between the home's formal and informal lounge areas. Indoor areas flow seamlessly outside onto a maintenance-free deck. An in-ground 1.9m deep heated saltwater pool and spa comes with the luxury of outdoor powder room and outdoor shower. Bi-fold aluminum doors with Neeta windows and electronic blinds separate the lower level from the outdoors, their high industrial quality giving full protection from the elements when required. Flanking the casual lounge room at the rear of the lower level is an exceedingly well-appointed kitchen fitted with stone bench-tops. The wide range of upscale fixtures here includes an AEG 900mm wide gas burner, an Ilve 900m wide oven, ASKO stainless steel dishwasher, and Samsung 719L French-door refrigerator/freezer. Tapware is Ottone Meloda and a Zip Hydro Tap produces instant boiling or chilled water. Small appliances are cleverly concealed within custom-built cabinetry. A Vintec stainless steel bar fridge is built in to the island bench on the side closest to the outdoor deck and ultra-modern gas and electric barbecue and waterproof cabinetry. On the level above, no expense was spared to ensure climate-controlled comfort as well as convenience thanks to an abundance of in-built cabinetry. All five bedrooms (welcomingly all on the same level) come with built-ins, non-allergenic woolen carpet, and, as in all rooms in the home, zone controlled reverse cycle ducted inverter Daikin air conditioners. Halls and walkways as well as the bathrooms offer under floor heating. The master bedroom is large enough for a window-side reading nook and features an in-built bedhead with lighting controls. The bed faces the suite's large private terrace overlooking the backyard. In the ensuite, an elegant step-up spa bath fills a corner opposite the twin vanities and double shower. Peace of mind descends from the moment one opens the front gate and sees landscaped gardens and then a pond with tinkling water feature. An automatic irrigation system looks after the garden with a 5000 litre rainwater tank located below ground in the front yard. Sensor halogen lights illuminate the garden in the evenings. Security is provided by back to base Super-Tech alarms with flexible zone control and three Aiphone full colour video intercoms, while network cabling extends to all rooms. There is parking for four cars and a double garage. Perhaps the magic of this home is that it can be anything an owner desires - a home catering equally to lively occasions as to the need for a private sanctuary away from the outside world. This is indeed a world-class residence, the very definition of quality modern living, offering an iconic Sydney lifestyle with every modern luxury at your fingertips.
