Incredible Palm Springs Inspired Renovation with Seperate Self Contained Studio

Welcome to ‘Summer House’ — a Palm Springs-inspired reimagination of a 1960s bungalow fusing bespoke design with modern functionality and effortless luxury.

Every corner of this incredible property has been thoughtfully planned, redesigned and constructed to offer a completely new home, that is full of surprises..

On the main level, the open plan kitchen living and dining takes centre stage – flowing seamlessly out through wide bi-fold doors to the stunning outdoor entertaining area and centrepiece Tracey Wickham pool. This is where you will spend most of your time, simply enjoying the environment surrounded by an incredible garden full of mature and rare palms, looking back into your own resort-style haven - you can only smile and appreciate everything that you see!

The kitchen is truly stunning – featuring a Calcutta Delicato marble island benchtop and a matching backsplash, complemented by premium European appliances, including a 900mm Bosch induction cooktop, Siemens steam oven and microwave, integrated Siemens dishwasher and Qasair rangehood. Twin integrated fridges and a sleek pot filler enhance functionality while keeping the design seamless, all tied together with custom cabinetry that blends style with practicality.

Adjoining the kitchen is a generous dining area where you will love entertaining – as well as the lounge, featuring more custom cabinetry and stone cladding, and the cutest sitting area – the perfect spot to read a book with a martini in hand.

The master suite is a true sanctuary, flooded with natural light through casement windows and fitted with floor-to-ceiling sheer and block-out curtains. Floating bedside tables with integrated lighting and built-in custom wardrobes add a refined touch — every detail considered for elegant, effortless living. The ensuite includes a dual stone vanity and a generous wet-area walk-in rain shower, with a freestanding fluted bath tucked just behind and finished with brushed silver fixtures.

Three additional bedrooms offer plush carpet, ceiling fans, plantation shutters, and built-in robes, designed for comfort and style. These rooms are serviced by a main bathroom that mirrors the home’s luxurious palette, with custom cabinetry, stone benchtops, a double vanity, and a walk-in shower with detachable head — combining practicality with refined finishes.

Adding to the home’s versatility, the lower level (Under Legal Height) has been cleverly crafted as a beautifully appointed and self-contained retreat. With its own private entry, the space includes a practical kitchenette and living area, a luxuriously detailed bathroom with marble vanity and walk-in shower, and a private multi-purpose suite with built-in robes, plantation shutters, and Mitsubishi split-system air conditioning — perfect for multi-generational living, an Au Pair, additional guest space, or work-from-home studio.

The property is fully fenced and has dual access (through electric gates) from both streets, offering off street parking for 8 vehicles, as well as a camper, boat, trailer and toys. The entire outdoor space has been cleverly covered in astroturf, creating a multi-purpose area that could be a sports field, or entertaining and BBQ area. This is the ultimate fun zone!
