A one-of-a-kind house dominated by a hexagonal indoor pool has hit the market, with potential to make the perfect party pad for buyers seeking maximum privacy.
Tucked away at the back of a battle-axe block in Punchbowl in Sydney’s south west, the four-bedroom house has a “unique floor plan offering unsurpassed privacy,” according to the listing.
Described as “the ultimate entertainer”, the home features a pebblecrete swimming pool at its centre occupying a cavernous room covered by a massive skylight.
The unique internal pool is surrounded by arch windows connecting to almost every other living space in the home.
With a bit of imagination, the property could be modernised into an impressive party house, given it also sports a rooftop terrace, a mezzanine above the pool, and a kitchenette that could double as a poolside bar.

Despite its retro style, the home features a reasonably modern kitchen as well as tiled floors and a concrete front yard, while a handful of palm trees out the front give it the beginnings of a resort-style vibe.
The bedrooms and bathrooms are positioned around the edge of the square-shaped house, while a huge concrete-floored rumpus room connects to the covered carport to allow additional parking.

The property has space for 12 cars all up, according to the listing, ideal for large gatherings or when unexpected guests pop over for a swim.
While the big brick house has no backyard to speak of, the pool in its interior more than makes up for it, allowing its new owners to take a dip in rain, hail or shine.

The listing states the property is “unlike anything previously offered before in Punchbowl,” and boasts “enough space for the largest of families.”
The home has been on the rental market for the past decade, according to real estate agent Tim Mutton who is handling the sale.

He said the house, which goes to auction on 6 April with a $1.5 million price guide, had already generated a lot of interest, particularly with upsizing families drawn to its unusual layout and substantial proportions, some with plans to modernise the property.
In the past year, 123 houses have been sold in Punchbowl, and only five had a pool.
