Situated in the seaside city of Herzliya Pituach, this impressive villa combines lavish proportions and contemporary design to make for an address that's impossible to resist.
It's clear that natural light was high up on the architect's agenda, as there's a wealth of floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors. The shiny parquet flooring and tiling work particularly well with this asset, as do the sleek furnishings and minimalist kitchen surfaces. Head upstairs and you'll find a collection of large bedrooms and stylish bathrooms to complete the living quarters.
That's just the interior. Step outside and you're greeted by the welcome sight of a blue swimming pool complete with built-in fountain features and loungers arranged around the sides. There's also an alfresco dining table on the terrace, on which you can enjoy dinner fresh off the barbecue.
Although the home is relaxing enough in and of itself, guests staying at the home also get access to a members-only private beach – there are plenty more seaside spots only five minutes' walk from the front door, too. In Herzliya, there are plenty of restaurants and cafes, but if you need a wider choice – as well as some cultural attractions – the centre of Tel Aviv takes about half an hour to reach in the car.
