A STRIKING luxury home with a bold ‘modern contemporary’ design, full marina frontage and central pool has just hit the Darwin real estate market.
Architecturally designed and located right on the waterfront, and only minutes away from the CBD, 36 O’Ferrals Road in Bayview has already received hundreds of views online since first going on sale for $1.6m on Wednesday. LJ Hooker Darwin sales representative Jennifer Wardell said the property’s unique design made it a standout.
“The design of the property has a focus on large open spaces internally with huge windows flooding the property with natural light,” she said.
“The added benefit of this design is that there is views of the marina from almost every room of the home.

“Most Darwin homes are very square, however this beautiful property has many curves incorporated into its design really making it stand out.
“From the spiral staircase to the curved island bench in the kitchen to the symmetrical curves of the roof fascia over looking the marina, (it) looks stunning.”
Among the property’s other key features are its absolute marina frontage – a rare find among large homes in Darwin, a marina berth that doubles as a waterfront entertaining area, and a climate-controlled pool.
Ms Wardell said the five bedroom, four bathroom property would suit a wide range of prospective buyers, but especially those with large boats, those looking for a large home with lots of entertainment areas, or – because four of its bedrooms have ensuites – families who have older children or older parents living with them.
She said the home had received strong interest in just two days on the market.
“Homes like this hardly ever come up for sale, so for those that are in the market for something like this is a rare opportunity,” she said.
“It could be years before something similar becomes available.

“The home is also for sale well below replacement cost – if you were to buy a large waterfront block and build a new home like this today it would cost a considerable amount more than the current asking price.”
