It has been somewhat of a showpiece in a private pocket of Whitebridge and now the "unique" home owned by 2HD Radio presenter Richard King and his ex-wife Anne has been listed for sale for the first time since being built in the '90s.
Creer Property's Peter Shiels is marketing the large contemporary home on a private and elevated block 1140 square metres in size at 4 Rae Cove for $1.1 million.
A spacious master suite enjoys position in one wing of the home with a further five bedrooms in another wing. They are separated by a large open plan kitchen and living space, encased by glass windows and doors which extend to a covered deck that runs the length of the home.
There is additional living and dining areas and the home is surrounded by extensive landscaped gardens with bamboo a feature and no shortage of places and spaces to find peace and sanctuary.
King has a love for bamboo and has made it a showpiece of the property with 10 different species used for a privacy screen.
"It's very different," King said. "It's a very different block, very different garden and a very different house, but it still looks contemporary even though it's 20 years old.
"Because it sits up fairly high, it gets all of the nor-east breezes. The way the house was designed it doesn't matter where the breeze is coming from, you can open windows - there's a lot of louvres - and you can always operate a breeze through the house."
There is also a double garage, carport, an additional workshop area and a wine cellar. The property is located close to Dudley beach and Fernleigh Track.
