45 White Oak Road

The result of a deeply collaborative partnership between architect Of Possible and custom builder NS Builders, 45 White Oak is, as the latter’s founder, Nick Schiffer, says, “A showcase of what’s possible when timeless design, high-performance building and obsessive craftsmanship converge.”

The expansive 668-square-metre (7,200-square-foot) residence is an ultra-contemporary and deeply luxurious interpretation of New England’s architectural legacy, where the hallmarks of tradition meet the best of modern home design and building, a culmination of knowledge, intention and passion.

The heart of the home is the chef’s kitchen, anchored by stunning Vermont Dandy marble countertops, the perfect complement to the custom handcrafted pale timber cabinetry. A gathering place for both culinary artistry and easy living, the space features Gaggenau appliances, integrated seamlessly into the minimalist millwork. Bathed in light, the space also includes a casual dining zone and oversized pantry.

The ground floor opens up to formal dining room and an elegant, spacious living area with a Filiofocus 2000 fireplace and timber-beam ceiling, where floor-to-ceiling glazing embraces the refined landscaping. A covered entertaining terrace and outdoor kitchen bring alfresco living to the forefront. A luxurious master suite with ensuite and generous walk-in wardrobe shares the second floor with four other bedrooms and three additional bathrooms.
