2/11a McNaught Street, Beaumaris, Vic 3193

Sun-drenched and serene RÜÜHM’s SYMPHONY 5 rear residence combines architectural integrity with absolute tranquillity. Wrapped by well-utilised garden space with a deep northerly aspect, this 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home from multi-generational developers RÜÜHM is an exercise in light-filled low-maintenance luxury with living-dining stretched out to the north, master accommodation in a ground-floor wing or first-floor suite and a work or playspace in a luminous first-floor landing. 

Taking inspiration from Beaumaris’s origins as a 1960’s bohemian enclave, this creative home brings together key elements of  mid-century design, unfolding beyond an inspired façade of Tasmanian Pearl ‘Eco Bricks’ and Zen Lotus breeze-blocks...and pivoting open with an immense 1.2m wide entry-door. 

Streamlined by design with 3m squareset ceilings, shadow-line P50 detail and tall north-facing commercial glazing, the specification is uncompromisingly authentic with natural Carrara marble benchtops, Oak floors and pure New Zealand wool carpet as a backdrop to subtle fluted glass and cabinetry finishes, porcelain tiles with a pop of terrazzo, and wall-hung cabinetry with a soft glow of LED under-lighting.  

Making bold design statements with a wide window-splashback and curvaceous dining bench from the elite Miele kitchen, the home  hides integrated appliances (including a Häfele double French-door fridge-freezer) in velvety 2-Pack cabinetry... and adds practical elements including a linear wine-rack and over-size butler’s pantry. 

Engaging all senses with gentle in-floor heating for each bathroom, and tactile solid-brass and  satin-gold hardware and tapware throughout, the home is also endlessly functional with bespoke built-in and walk in robes, a smartly fitted laundry and practical extras including dual-vanities, dual-head showers and hidden-cistern WCs.

Thoughtfully adopting only the most useful and usable technologies, the property is individually climate-controlled by remote-operated reverse-cycle heating-cooling, and protected by Closed Circuit Video Security and hard-wired Ring video-intercom (via Smartphone apps) plus keyless entry. Making life lovely with dimmable lighting and soaring skylights, the home minimises clutter with fast-charging USB points, and maximises cohesion with sleek Italian Bitcino power switches. 

Shifting the focus to entertaining outdoors, fully-irrigated gardens shine with deep north sun across a pergola-topped bench-seated deck and a circular seating pod. Cocooned in a feature-lit, architect-designed landscape characterised by crafted bluestone and random-paved detail, the property is easily accessible with a double auto-garage on a wide exposed aggregate driveway.

Honouring the golden era of beachside Modernist design, while sitting comfortably amongst the area’s most disruptive new architecture, RÜÜHM’s SYMPHONY 5 rear residence is at the heart of Bayside lifestyle; within a leisurely walk of Rickett’s Point and the beachfront Artists’ Trail. a stroll to the Concourse retail and hospitality hub, and minutes to the Sandbelt Golf Courses with Beaumaris Secondary College at the end of the street, Mentone Girls College in Zone and the Mentone and Brighton private schools in reach.
