这座精致独特的北向岛屿住宅无法被归类。当代风格和哥特复兴风格融合在一起，奢华而壮观。这座迷人的房子和神奇的花园在欧洲也毫不逊色。然而，这座非凡的石头和木材住宅却位于北斯特德布鲁克岛阿米蒂一条安静的街道上，距离大陆 16 公里。

It is impossible to pigeonhole this sophisticated and distinctive north-facing island home. The spellbinding blend of contemporary and Gothic Revival influences is lavish and imposing. This enchanting haus and magical garden would not be out of place in Europe. And yet this exceptional stone and wood residence is curiously located in a quiet street at Amity, North Stradbroke Island, 16 km from the mainland. The meticulous design with modern needs has been a labour of love by the owner builder over a period of twenty-plus years. The timelessness and adaptability to Australian conditions are both whimsical and inspiring. Medieval elements with nautical island touches make this property so unique and memorable. Ideal as a dreamy holiday home or perfect for permanent residents. The charming exterior, coupled with the inviting interior, offers both refined and rustic appeal. The steep pitched roof, high-raked ceilings with exposed beams are representative of the extraordinary build quality throughout. Configured over three levels, the elegant entry is via the front porch on the middle level, through the double timber doors, into the cavernous living room. Stunning recycled Wool Stores hardwood flooring, solid central staircase, built-in under-stair display cabinet, an exposed porphyry stone fireplace, wonderful stained-glass windows, and an oversized antique chandelier, offer the ultimate ambience.
