8 Southern Cross Drive
Cronin Island 4217

Refined living at its finest in this inner-city estate hosting an executive-level, Main River residence on exclusive Cronin Island.

Within a highly secluded setting, the property capitalises on rare dual-aspect views that stretch west across the river to the sandy shoreline of Regatta Parade and east to the green space of Cronin Park, backed by the stunning city skyline.

The amalgamation of three lots allowed architect Bayden Goddard to create a family home of architectural brilliance, featuring exaggerated living spaces that seamlessly connect, yet remain purposefully designated, across a three-storey floor plan.

Among them are five oversized bedrooms, two executive offices, a games room, several multipurpose rooms and an open-plan kitchen, living and dining space, all grounded by the home's suspended concrete slab construction.

Natural materials featured inside and out, such as hardwood, stone, and travertine, bring warmth, durability and connectivity to the home, while vast balconies and terraces extend living to the outdoors on every level.
