9 Coorong Ct<\/a>, Stuart Park 10 years ago, to bring together everything they loved about Baline style and Top End living. <\/p>\n\u201cWe built it for ourselves,\u201d Mr Oliver said. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been in the building game for 50 years and spent 25 years in civil engineering. <\/p>\n
\u201cFrom my experience of building and the travel I\u2019ve done, I knew what I wanted.<\/p>\n
\u201cI always wanted a Bali bathroom and now I\u2019ve got one, and I always wanted a red kitchen and now I\u2019ve got one.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Oliver said the home was built around the Darwin climate, and made the most of the 1000 sqm block, with the spacious house wrapping around a big entertaining area. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very cool and breezy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen people do come in here, they\u2019re surprised how the breeze really does flow through the house.\u201d <\/p>\n

The home is spread across two levels and features high ceilings, banks of louvres and Balinese accents throughout.<\/p>\n
On the ground floor there is a triple lockup garage, an entryway and a self-contained granny flat. <\/p>\n
The granny flat has a private entry, patio, open plan living and kitchen and a bedrooms with ensuite. <\/p>\n
Internal stairs lead up to the open plan living, dining and kitchen area, which flows out to the front deck and the outdoor entertaining area. <\/p>\n
The red kitchen features high shine cabinetry, stone countertops, breakfast bar and stainless steel appliances. <\/p>\n
\u201cMy kitchen is built to be user friendly because I love cooking,\u201d Mr Oliver said. <\/p>\n
Off the living space, there are two bedrooms, both with built-in robes, a bathroom, a separate toilet and a home theatre. <\/p>\n
In a separate wing, the main bedroom has a big walk-in robe and a luxurious Balinese-themed ensuite with freestanding tub, pebble floor, dual basins, an open shower and picture window looking out to a water feature courtyard. <\/p>\n

The huge outdoor area includes a heated in-ground pool, covered seating area and an outdoor kitchen with built-in cabinetry. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a roof over the pool with a gap between the roof and the wall to create ventilation,\u201d Mr Oliver said. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen there\u2019s not a breath of wind, I still get breeze through there. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s called capillary action \u2013 all that means is (the breeze) is going around in circles. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt was built to do that and it works \u2013 I was pretty impressed.\u201d <\/p>\n
Mr Oliver said the interior design was down to his wife\u2019s good taste while the Balinese accents were all made in Bali, including the stonework above the pool and in the ensuite. <\/p>\n
\u201cI knew what I wanted and knew where I could get it from, just the process of getting it and installing it took some time,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cI brought it all back bits at a time. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d draw it up, they\u2019d make it and I\u2019d bring it home.\u201d <\/p>\n

Mr Oliver said the home was perfect for entertaining and enjoying the Darwin weather, while the granny flat could be an extra income stream for the next owner. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf they were to get smart and rent it out over the V8s and the race round, they could make some good money,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Tucked away in Stuart Park, the home is close to the city and the coastline, and has easy access to major arterial roads. <\/p>\n
