97 Foreshore Road, Kelso

The Link House presents a rare architectural dialogue between coastal heritage and refined contemporary design, set along the tightly held waterfront of Foreshore Road. Anchored by its original form, the residence has been thoughtfully reimagined through a striking modern addition-where light, volume, and materiality respond to the surrounding landscape. A sculptural glazed walkway creates a seamless transition between past and present, framing moments of arrival while drawing the eye toward the water beyond. The original home retains a sense of intimacy, offering a private primary suite, secondary accommodation, and well-appointed living spaces that reflect the scale and character of its coastal origins. In contrast, the newly completed wing unfolds with a sense of openness and calm. Soaring ceilings and expansive glazing capture natural light and water views, while a series of interconnected living zones-sitting room, library, and retreat-create spaces for both gathering and quiet reflection. A restrained palette and carefully considered detailing reinforce a sense of understated luxury. The principal suite within this wing is conceived as a sanctuary, softly layered with filtered light and oriented toward the water. A generous dressing room and a beautifully resolved bathroom, complete with freestanding bath and walk-in shower, evoke a refined, resort-like sensibility. Across the home, four bedroom plus study, three bathrooms, and multiple living areas provide flexibility without compromising cohesion. Substantial garaging for four vehicles-enhanced by rare rear access-adds a further layer of practicality seldom found in waterfront settings of this calibre. Positioned within the Kelso waterfront precinct, the property offers a lifestyle defined by privacy, natural beauty, and quiet exclusivity-within easy reach of Beaconsfield and Launceston. A residence of architectural clarity and coastal resonance, The Link House is both a retreat and a statement-an exceptional offering within a tightly held enclave.
