Phoenix House – Award-Winning Sophisticated Luxury in the Heart of Byron Bay

Phoenix House is a rare architectural masterpiece that perfectly embodies the essence of Byron Bay living, thoughtful design, sustainable innovation and timeless character. Winner of the Milo Dunphy Award for Sustainability from the Institute of Architects, this home has been artfully reimagined from its early 1900s Queenslander origins into a refined modern residence. Nestled within the sought-after Golden Grid, just a five-minute stroll to both the beach and town centre, the location offers the very best of Byron's vibrant coastal lifestyle, with a park and tennis courts directly opposite.

Designed by renowned architect Harley Graham, Phoenix House showcases a harmonious blend of texture, form, and function. Natural timbers, marble terrazzo, and brass accents feature throughout, while expansive glass sliders open seamlessly to the north-facing verandah - creating a luminous connection between indoor and outdoor living. The skylit lounge captures the gentle warmth of the winter sun while remaining shaded and cool in summer, a thoughtful expression of passive design. A mineral magnesium swimming pool framed by lush tropical gardens provides the ultimate backdrop for relaxation or entertaining.

At the heart of the home, the designer kitchen is both elegant and practical. Featuring terrazzo benchtops, solid oak cabinetry, and Astra Walker fittings, it's complemented by a hidden butler's nook and repurposed French windows that softly filter the afternoon light. Recycled Baltic Pine floorboards carry warmth and authenticity through to the three beautifully appointed bedrooms, including a master suite with recycled timber details and an ensuite accessed through a breezeway. The secondary bedrooms connect to a versatile rumpus or home office, ideal for families or professionals working remotely.

Sustainability remains at the core of Phoenix House, with 20kW of solar power, a large battery system, 10,000L water storage, and low-VOC finishes ensuring an eco-conscious footprint without compromise on luxury. The home is elevated 1.6m to promote natural airflow and provide convenient under-house storage for surfboards and bikes. Completing this exceptional offering is Bei Villa - a luxurious self-contained studio with its own private entrance, full kitchen, bathroom, and soaring ceilings. Perfect as guest accommodation or a high-performing holiday rental, both residences have potential for 365-day letting, offering unmatched flexibility and investment potential.
