53 Paterson Street, Byron Bay, NSW 2481

Occupying an elevated 737sqm corner block, this architect-designed home by D.F.J. Architects has been carefully planned to take full advantage of its position, natural light and far-reaching outlooks.

Built five years ago by respected local builders JBuilds, the home combines quality construction with a considered palette of timber, glass and solid steel balustrades. Extensive louvred windows and self-closing skylights encourage natural cross-ventilation and capture cooling summer breezes, while every room enjoys a connection to the surrounding landscape.

Two expansive north-facing decks extend the living spaces outdoors. One takes in views of Cape Byron Lighthouse, Arakwal National Park and glimpses of the ocean, while the other is immersed in a lush tropical garden designed by local landscape designer Alex Peterson.

The outdoor setting is complemented by a heated 7m × 3.5m magnesium pool and a hot-and-cold outdoor shower. Just a few steps away, the Milne Track provides direct access through Arakwal National Park to Tallow Beach.

Despite its peaceful setting, the property is within an easy 10-minute walk of Byron Bay town centre and Main Beach.

Designed to embrace its surroundings and maximise year-round comfort, this is a home that delivers on both lifestyle and location.
