Real Estate

FROM COAST TO COUNTRY

Palm Springs style at Tweed Heads

By Jo Kennett

A BEAUTIFUL luxury home designed and built by a wellknown local couple has hit the market this month at Tweed Heads.

The recently-built ‘La Casa Bianca’ has been a favourite for photoshoots since it was finished and now it’s up for sale as the owners downsize.

The three-bedroom twobathroom home is tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac at 27 Margaret Street, close to the river, beaches, shopping and restaurants of the TweedCoolangatta area and 3.6 kilometres to the airport.

Lynne and Danny Sharpe designed and built La Casa Bianca with Escape Homes with a low maintenance, relaxed coastal ethos.

“I’m a florist by trade and had florist shops for 20 years and I always had a passion for design,” Lynne told The Weekly Real Estate.

“I get enjoyment out of choosing everything like the tapware and tiles.

“I couldn’t find barn doors I liked

so I designed my own and had them made.

“The front doors are out of a 1940s house we upcycled; they are what you see first and I wanted to choose some that weren’t just generic.”

They also upcycled pieces from other houses although the tiles are imported.

“Most of the tiles are Moroccan in the kitchen and bathroom and the tiles in the powder room are Spanish,” Lynne said.

“Outside we have gone with a beautiful crazy pave; we just tried to keep it a bit different.

“I chose three different tiles and we just laid them out so we have different colours in the outdoor area.”

Lynne and Danny already had quite a few renovations and builds behind them before creating La Casa Bianca.

“For this one we just wanted a relaxed, modern Hamptons feel near the beach so hence the relaxed feel inside and the cactuses out the front,” she said.

“There is a lot of light and big windows in the house.

“We have five-metre ceilings in the lounge and exposed beams

and neutral colours so you could move into tomorrow and put any colours in it and whatever pieces you’ve got will fit.

“I’m selling it fully furnished if that’s what you want.”

The Sharpes have lived in the street for 15 years.

“We renovated a house we lived in and then we bought this block and subdivided it and sold the back and built on the front,” she said.

“There is Hardie Deck outside around the pool which is really low maintenance and Hardie Cladding which is too.

“I have someone who mows the lawns every two weeks and a guy who comes and maintains the pool every month so it’s really low maintenance.”

Lynne said one thing they love the most about the home is the location.

“We walked along the waterfront into Kirra, Coolangatta and home the other day; we did a big loop and it only took an hour,” she said.

“We have so many good coffee shops and we walk down and get fish and chips at Scales (Seafoods).

“It’s close to the river and the beach and it’s good for families because the bus stops to all the local primary and high schools including Kingscliff High School are just at the end of the street.

“There are really beautiful people in the street as well, which is one of the things we really love.”

The outdoor area features a magnesium pool and private alfresco, while the interior boasts three generous bedrooms including a grand master suite with a walk-in robe and grand ensuite, a gourmet kitchen with premium appliances, bespoke cabinetry, stone countertops, and butler’s pantry.
