Inside Newport’s iconic ‘Copper House’ as it hits the market

A home in Newport known by locals as the ‘Copper House’ and designed by world-renowned architect Peter Stutchbury has hit the market with a coveted beachfront offering.

Marketed by agents Emma Blake and Sasha de Bilde of Ray White Northern Beaches, the residence’s vendor Andrew Moore has lived at the home for six years with his wife Jo and their two sons that he said was known to locals as the ‘Copper House’ due to its distinct architectural elements.

The home is known to the locals as the Copper House

The idyllic four-bedroom, three-bathroom property at 7 Myola Road includes a prime positioned hot tub that soaks in the ocean views.

Arriving at the homes, Japanese-inspired gardens sit at the entry, with open-plan spaces that connect via expansive glass doors that open north and east to the beach.

Inside the home, its open-plan design and vistas were some of the family’s favourite features.

The entry of the home

Built by Bellevarde Constructions in 2006 using concrete, timber, glass, bronze and copper throughout, Mr Moore said the reported build cost was over $7m when completed. No price guide for the current sales has been made publicly available.

Mr Moore said the beachfront deck with a hot tub was his favourite part of the home that the family used all of the time.

Synonymous with its name, the kitchen boasts an island bench with Italian copper benchtops and a walk-in butler’s pantry.

Additional spaces in the home include a study, media room and 1,000 bottle wine cellar.

On the uppermost level sits three bedrooms that feature custom built-ins and copper louvres.

The master suite enjoys ocean views with an ensuite and glass doors opening to the coastal panoramas.

“You can lie in bed and literally watch the surf at Newport peak,” Mr Moore said.

“It’s a house where people love to drop in.

“We had many impromptu visitors and parties over the years.”

Outside the home sits a 23m hydronic heated lap pool, hot tub, outdoor shower and built-in barbecue with the property also affording its residents direct beach access.

Mr de Bilde said the property previously rented for $50,000 over a 10-day Christmas period.

“Most surrounding homes are used as holiday houses,” he said. “This could suit a family, an older couple or serve as a holiday home.”
