Grand and inviting, this single-level residence in The Banks, Whitby, is rich in street appeal. Linea and Stria cladding provides a strong horizontal element, enhanced by Colorsteel roofing.

When winter hits, the lounge with gas fire provides a cosy retreat. Double-glazed windows and insulation promise to keep the home warm in winter and cool in summer. It’s win-win. The contemporary kitchen provides a well-equipped nucleus for the open-plan living space, easily serving the lounge and dining areas. It’s also handy to the alfresco entertaining space where meals can be enjoyed on balmy summer evenings. Generous use of sliding and bi-fold doors foster fluid indoor-outdoor living throughout. In a thoughtful nod to family life, the three double bedrooms have been positioned away from the main living areas. Kids can focus on homework while others play or entertain guests elsewhere. The master bedroom is a spacious self-contained retreat, complete with a generous wardrobe, ensuite and private access to a tiled patio. Lovely landscaping completes this picture-perfect package.
