9 Blackwood Avenue

Conceived as a calm, sculptural response to its coastal setting, this freestanding beach house brings architecture, interiors and landscape into effortless dialogue on one of Clovelly's finest avenues. Designed by Chapman Architects to embrace sweeping ocean views, the reimagined seaside classic unfolds over three sunlit levels, engaging seamlessly with a sunny garden and heated mineral pool. A robust material palette of polished concrete, oak and terrazzo brings warmth and tactility, with Super White Dolomite forming a cohesive thread throughout. Above the dining area, a dramatic double-height void draws light deep into the home and amplifies the volume of the social spaces, while an entertainer's island kitchen serves as their gravitational centre. Four generous bedrooms include a spectacular dual-level parents' retreat, complete with an adults' lounge, viewing deck and eyrie-like study. Wrapped in Shou Sugi Ban cladding at the rear, the home has a powerful sense of presence and permanence with its charred timber exterior creating a striking counterpoint to the lush gardens and shimmering ocean beyond. - Sculpted by light and grounded by nature - Tranquil ocean views from 3 sunlit levels - Polished concrete floors, underfloor heating - 4 large bedrooms with custom built-in robes - 3 on one level with a family or TV room - Parents' wing with a lounge and attic study - Ensuite, dressing room and an ocean backdrop - Super White Dolomite kitchen, 3m island - Butler's pantry, integrated Bosch appliances - Induction cooktop, integrated fridge/freezer - Dining with dramatic double-height ceilings - Huge living room, RealFlame gas fireplace - Limestone terrace and a sunny level lawn - Heated mosaic-tiled mineral pool, sun terrace - 3 designer bathrooms, Astra Walker tapware - Custom-fitted laundry, terrazzo flooring - Auto blinds, linen curtains, Velux skylights - LUG (internal access) plus off-street parking - Family friendly avenue, 250m to the beach Disclaimer: All information contained herein, including the description, floor plan, and images, is gathered from reliable sources.
