A specially-designed family home is up for grabs in Bayview, offering sprawling marina views in an elevated home not sold since it was built.
The four-bedroom, three bathroom home at 16 Laidlaw Ct was built in 2002 and designed by its owner, who bought elevated land in the suburb for a raised view of Darwin’s water.
16 Laidlaw Ct, Bayview: a home designed by its owner and not sold since it was built in 2002.
The vendor bought the property on an elevated spot of the Bayview marina, and wanted to get the best of the area’s wind and sprawling views.
Ray White Darwin agent Evie Radonich said the home’s owner continued to renovate the property throughout the years, adding modern features to keep up with the home’s changing needs.
“They have done quite a lot over time,” she said. “They’ve enclosed what used to be a terrace upstairs, and there’s now a nice sunroom and second living space.”
The home’s living area on the ground floor connects to the front entrance, the second level and the dining area, which sports a stone-topped waterfall island by the contemporary kitchen.
The house has seen a series of renovations since it was constructed to keep up with the changing times.
The ground floor encourages an indoor-outdoor lifestyle for its residents, with a sheltered outdoor area connecting to the backyard veranda and laundry.
On the other side of the dining room rests a guest bedroom, offering a chance to house members of the family wanting to live in their own zone.
“If someone’s wanting a dual-living setup, you could turn that into a self-contained space,” Ms Radonich said.
The lower level of the home blends indoor-outdoor living, and has options to create a multigenerational or dual-living space.
The second floor of the home is entirely dedicated to quiet family spaces, from the three bedrooms to a study nook and wider family room.
Balconies are connected to both the family room and master-bedroom, offering expansive views over the marina from an elevated position.
Out the back lies a custom in-ground pool, with specially-designed tiling and a spa nook built into the side.
The upper floor of the property has a renovated sunroom and balcony views, both from the living area and the master bedroom.
A pool with a spa nook and a garage with a cushioned workshop are two of the extra features the vendor added to get the most out of the home.
Meanwhile, the home’s three-vehicle garage was built and renovated for a variety of uses.
Ms Radonich said the property owner worked hard to keep the garage a good space for his vehicles, allowing room to spare for a workshop area with cushioned flooring.
“It can feel like a bit of a man-cave,” she said. “The garage was always very important to him, making sure it had a lot of space.”
The house is up for auction with Ray White Darwin on August 6.
With a built-in barbecue, cyclone roller shutters, garden shed and solar panelling, the home is built for a family who want all their needs met in one versatile package.
The property will be going to auction, up for grabs on the evening of August 6.
