Highend Homes built this architecturally designed home on the Riverhead waterfront
Designed for connection, comfort and entertaining
At the heart of the architectural new build is a beautifully appointed KMD kitchen, complete with a generous island and fully equipped scullery. The open plan layout flows seamlessly through the dining and living areas, creating a highly functional space for everyday living.
A separate formal lounge offers a more private retreat, centred around a look-through glass gas fireplace, with surround and detailing custom made by Highend Homes. Upstairs, a third lounge provides additional flexibility, perfect as a secondary living space, media room or home office.
Seamless indoor-outdoor flow
Designed to maximise its waterfront setting, the home features expansive wrap-around decking that extends the living spaces outdoors. With both covered and open-air zones, the outdoor living areas are designed for year-round use. A built-in sound system and pizza oven complete the ideal entertaining space.
Thoughtful layout with premium finishes
Two bedrooms with a shared bathroom are located on the ground floor, while upstairs includes an additional bedroom and a luxurious master suite. Each upstairs bedroom features its own ensuite, complete with high-end finishes and freestanding bathtubs. The master suite opens onto a private balcony, capturing elevated water views and creating a peaceful retreat.
Throughout the home, every detail has been executed to a high standard. Engineered oak flooring, statement lighting and ducted central heating contribute to a cohesive, high-end finish. Practical features such as a triple car garage and separate laundry ensure the home performs as well as it looks.
Craftsmanship and collaboration
Highend Homes worked collaboratively alongside the architect, consultants and subcontractors, to deliver this architecturally designed home in Riverhead.
A strong emphasis was placed on craftsmanship and bespoke detailing, including the custom fireplace feature. Our team ensured all elements were executed to a high standard, aligning with both the design vision and the expectations of a premium waterfront build.
