Your Domain: An unmissable statement roofline perched on Sydney's Bilgola headland

October 19, 2019

There’s no missing the sloping statement roof as you drive down Barrenjoey Road, front and centre on the Bilgola headland just an hour north of Sydney.

Appropriately named Oceanie; from the materials to its very structure, every aspect of the three-level home has been designed as a reflection of its coastal location.

518 Barrenjoey Road, Avalon Beach.

Sundrenched sandstone terraces that mimic the sandy beach below the home surround the building, all for making the most of the views of Avalon Beach. Stone floors and sand coloured walls in the living spaces and bedrooms continue the theme.

Usually industrial looking, the great steel beams that hold up the home’s iconic roof have been softened by being painted seafoam. They remained exposed on the top two split levels of the home and make for quite the unique living space. Up on these levels, glass walls stretch from the very tip of the towering roof to the floor for south-westerly views over the cliff face.

Inside the top two levels of the home, which make the most of the cavernous space the roof carves out.

Avalon Beach and the surrounding area are known for their quintessential beach homes. It’s an area where older Sydneysiders are known to buy weekenders for a coastal escape. This is namely due to its proximity to the city without compromising on the beautiful beaches of New South Wales’ central coast.

Whether as a primary residence or holiday home, there’s plenty of bells and whistles to enjoy. Catch a wave down at the beach, take a dip in the home’s plunge pool, or whale watch from the comfort of your own balcony.

There are south-westerly views of Avalon Beach.

There’s plenty of flexibility in its layout, too. The bottom level of the home contains two bedrooms, but the top split level can be easily converted between a loft bedroom or extra entertaining space.

The home is listed by Claudio Marcolongo at LJ Hooker Avalon with a price guide of $3.75 million.
