Wonderfully bright and welcoming, this Riverhead home revels in spaciousness and sunlight. The rendered brick exterior in charcoal and white strikes a modern pose amid the surrounding lawns.

Inside, the north-facing open-plan living, kitchen and dining area offers a convivial space for casual living. Floor-to-ceiling windows let natural light stream in throughout the day. LEDs take over at sundown, setting the mood for evenings in. Large stacker doors maximise indoor-outdoor flow, opening the interior up to an expansive rear patio and manicured yard. The kitchen’s large scullery frees the bench from clutter. A central island offers the cook a view of the outdoors while they work. To the left, a separate lounge provides a place for more formal occasions. A combination of timber flooring and carpet is well distributed for comfortable easy-care living. The four bedrooms, bathroom and ensuite are located on the other side of the living spaces and double garage. The feeling of privacy is enhanced by sound insulation. A sophisticated alarm system makes this home extra safe.
