Introduction
21 Fortescue Street presents a rare opportunity to own a contemporary, architect-designed residence that blends spacious modern living with a focus on sustainability. Built with environmental considerations in mind, this prestigious home does not compromise on amenity or functionality.
“A contemporary, architect-designed residence that blends spacious modern living with a focus on sustainability.”
The Design
Set on a generous 872 sqm block and oriented to maximise its northern aspect, the six-bedroom, three-bathroom, multi-living plan is ideal for large family living and entertaining. Outdoor spaces extend seamlessly from both sides of the main living area, with the primary outdoor entertaining and BBQ space overlooking a 25-metre lap pool—perfect for hosting gatherings or relaxing in privacy.
The elevated position of the home ensures expansive views while maintaining a sense of seclusion. At its heart, the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area features a striking double-height void over the dining space, flooding the interior with natural light and creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout the year. The kitchen, complete with contemporary finishes and a separate ‘butler’s pantry’, integrates seamlessly with the living and dining spaces, making it ideal for everyday living and social occasions.
The garage is positioned at street level, with two-storey living above. The floor plan is cleverly divided by the main staircase, with the master suite—featuring elevated water views—accessed via a bridge over the living area. Family and guest spaces are thoughtfully arranged along the pool, with a family/media room opening onto the rear garden, which boasts a level lawn large enough to accommodate a marquee for special family events.
With approximately 394 sqm of total floor space, highlights include a huge master suite wing with a large walk-in dressing room and ensuite, a home office with a 5m desk and 30 sqm of bookshelves, and the fifth and sixth bedrooms that can serve as a guest, Aupair accommodation, or a home gym. Every aspect of this property’s design has been carefully considered, from the exposed structural elements that define its aesthetic to the custom shelving in the bathrooms.
The oversized double garage offers EV charging, ample room for vehicles and storage. The low-maintenance, native landscaped garden complements the home’s sustainable design with raised vegetable beds. The home’s modern architecture emphasises clean lines and functionality, with expansive living areas flowing seamlessly into outdoor entertaining spaces, enhanced by elevated district and water views.
