Architectural Elegance | ‘NERO’ in Leafy McDowall

NERO, inspired by the Italian word for black, embodies a bold architectural design with striking materials and refined finishes, offering a residence of strong presence, timeless style, and sophisticated living.

Situated on an elevated 600 square meter lot in a sought-after, community-focused cul-de-sac in McDowall, this custom-built home features a concrete suspended slab construction, emphasizing craftsmanship, structural integrity, and durability rarely found in modern homes.

The property welcomes you with a secure rendered and gated entrance, highlighted by a concrete portico and pillar facade complemented by Western Red Cedar privacy panels, creating an impressive arrival experience. Inside, the interiors are refined with Italian rectified tiles throughout expansive living areas, Italian mosaic accents in bathrooms and pool surrounds, and custom Boral Tasmanian Oak flooring in all bedrooms and the main lounge, including a uniquely designed sunken lounge.

The gourmet kitchen serves as the heart of the home, designed for both daily living and entertaining. It features Black Galaxy stone benchtops, a double sink with filtered water, integrated Miele dishwasher, Smeg European wall oven, AEG five-burner gas cooktop, microwave shelf, 2Pac cabinetry with Birdseye detailing, wine and bottle storage, and a spacious walk-in pantry.

Multiple living areas flow effortlessly to the north-facing wrap-around balcony and entertaining deck, perfectly positioned to capture cooling breezes and peaceful leafy views.

The main bedroom retreat includes its own Juliet balcony, inviting natural light and fresh air while providing privacy and a relaxing atmosphere.

The lower level is designed for exceptional entertainment and family living, featuring an electric heater, a dedicated home theatre and media room with projector, wall screen, and surround sound, a spacious rumpus room, and a fully equipped wet bar. This area opens to a large Merbau deck and an Italian-tiled outdoor entertaining space overlooking a saltwater swimming pool with an elegant sheer descent water feature.

Additional highlights include a custom glass and stainless-steel vanity with a five-jet spa bath in the main bathroom, a separate laundry, extensive walk-in storage including a wine cellar, and a versatile multipurpose area ideal for teenagers, extended family, or a home business.
