102 Stuarts Road, Katoomba.

This exceptional architect-designed residence sits in perfect harmony with the spectacular Blue Mountains landscape, subtly merging with the natural bushland that unfolds beyond the rear of the property. A carefully curated corridor of native plantings and thoughtfully designed pathways creates a seamless transition between the home and its environment, enhancing the sense of connection to nature. Generous in scale, this striking four-to-five bedroom home takes its design cues from the elegance and grandeur of 1920s ocean liners. The influence is evident in the bold geometric forms, distinctive porthole lighting, and the dramatic sweeping staircase that welcomes you on arrival-instantly evoking the feeling of setting sail on a refined and luxurious journey. From the ground-floor entry, expansive open-plan living and dining areas flow effortlessly into the chef's kitchen, complete with a walk-in larder and illuminated by sophisticated recessed Art Deco lighting. A state-of-the-art whole-home water filtration system with UV purification delivers fresh, clean water throughout. The mezzanine level provides a private and versatile retreat, offering a generous study, a living or media room with a cosy fireplace and reading nook, and direct access to an entertainer's balcony. This level also features a kitchenette and a separate guest restroom, making it ideal for hosting. From here, sweeping panoramic views take in the iconic Blue Mountains escarpment and surrounding bushland, alive with native birdlife. The main suite enjoys its own private balcony, capturing the same breathtaking outlook. Designed with sustainability and comfort in mind, the solid double-brick construction supports passive energy efficiency and is complemented by a substantial 10kW solar system. Year-round comfort is assured with a powerful 20kW ducted dual-cycle air conditioning system. Under-house access simplifies servicing, while abundant storage is seamlessly integrated throughout the home.
