18 Kanooka Crescent

A bold yet restrained builder's residence - black, timber-layered and quietly coastal - just a short walk into the heart of Cabarita Beach. Designed and built as a family home, Kanooka reflects a rare balance of technical precision and lived-in warmth. While the craftsmanship is unmistakably that of an experienced builder, this is not a home created in isolation - it's the result of a considered, collaborative vision shaped around family life, comfort and longevity. Every material choice and spatial decision speaks to quality, restraint and pride of ownership, with a level of finish that's increasingly hard to find. From the street, the home presents with quiet confidence - a striking interplay of blackened forms, silvered timber and generous glazing beneath oversized gables. Positioned on a corner allotment, thoughtful orientation, mature landscaping and intelligent planning work together to create privacy and calm, particularly across the rear of the home where garden and living spaces are beautifully sheltered. Entry is deliberate and composed. A compressed arrival space - anchored by a brick feature wall with a soft half-arch - sets the tone before opening into a light-filled central living zone. Here, large double-glazed stacker doors connect seamlessly to both north and south-facing outdoor areas. To the north, a bespoke pergola with rough-sawn hardwood battens filters dappled light across crazy-paved silver travertine, a custom concrete barbecue and a lush garden backdrop, flowing naturally to the pool. To the south, a generous lawn and garden provide a quieter green retreat. This indooroutdoor connection forms the true heartbeat of the home, anchored by an expansive kitchen, dining and living space. The kitchen is both sculptural and functional, finished with Taj Mahal quartzite, American walnut cabinetry and a micro-cement feature wall, with a concealed walk-through pantry housing utilities and refrigeration. A brick feature wall grounds the living area, complemented by a picture window framing greenery beyond. Also on the ground level is a refined master suite opening directly to the garden, reinforcing the home's strong sense of flow. A walk-in robe and beautifully finished ensuite - featuring checkerboard marble and travertine - elevate the space with quiet luxury. A separate study and guest powder room complete the lower level, unified by burnished concrete floors and a cohesive, tactile material palette. A custom timber staircase rises alongside a textured brick wall, naturally lit by a large skylight and high-set windows that draw daylight deep into the home. Upstairs, three bedrooms, a thoughtfully appointed family bathroom and a second living space provide ideal separation for children or guests. Elevated windows capture leafy outlooks toward surrounding greenery and glimpses of the nearby canal, creating a strong visual connection to landscape while maintaining privacy. The gardens are an integral part of Kanooka's design. A considered blend of hardy coastal natives and softer planting has been thoughtfully established, maturing over time to enhance privacy and soften the built form - a landscape that continues to evolve with the home. Set within a tightly held enclave - the last freehold subdivision in the CabaritaBogangar area - this pocket has become known for some of the town's most considered contemporary homes. Backing onto reserve and surrounded by greenery, the location offers a relaxed coastal lifestyle just 800 metres from village life. A gentle stroll brings you to Halcyon House, along with Cabarita's cafes, restaurants, shops, patrolled beach and iconic headland. Surrounding freestanding homes reflect the calibre of the area, with recent values ranging approximately from $2.7M to $3.5M. A large double garage comfortably accommodates a full-size four-wheel drive, with additional off-street parking available - practical, understated and in keeping with the home's everyday liveability. Kanooka is a home built to live in and to last - quietly confident, deeply considered and ready to be proudly handed over to its next family.
