‘Flagstaff on the Hill’ – 55 Murphy St – Port Douglas

An iconic home with the most sought after Port Douglas address. 'Flagstaff' was designed after careful planning by a true local Graeme Rae, one of the finest tropical architects of the time. Graeme was a master designer who amongst many other local properties designed 'Danny's' - now 'Salsa Bar & Grill', 'Catalina'- now 'Harrison's', a house on Wharf St that sold for $10m plus and many other top class properties in Port Douglas.

The brief was to capture the coastal breezes & harness the magnificent views over the mountain ranges and still maintain a Coral Sea aspect. Blending the right mix of tropical timbers with solid concrete construction completed the home... timbers included flooring made from mixed rainforest hardwood. The solid timber doors, door frames and cupboards were handcrafted by a Swiss cabinet maker from pepper wood, with ceilings from tulip oak and external walls clad in silky oak.

Entering from Murphy St through the tiled triple car accommodation you arrive on a landing ideally midway between the top floor living and ground floor entertaining thus ensuring minimal stairs only 7 up and 8 down...

Upstairs you will find a sprawling living room offering access to the large kitchen, the master suite and bathroom, two guest bedrooms a large bathroom and the wrap around entertaining and dining deck.

Downstairs you will enjoy the large, open entertaining and living area, the kitchenette and bar area, two more guest rooms, the laundry and access to the inviting solar heated swimming pool and deck that surrounds the home. The owners have also recently completed a sumptuous timber entertaining deck that is nestled within the tropical gardens providing a great spot for garden parties, a good book or simply relaxing.

Within a very short 2 minute stroll to all the restaurants and retail of Macrossan St Port Douglas and with direct beach access at the end of Murphy Street you could not ask for a better position.
