Would you take a look at this two-storey honey in Hanmer Springs? Designed by Sheppard & Rout, the unique, no-fuss, cottage-style creation is clad and fully lined in plywood. Far from being overwhelming, the ubiquitous material provides a reassuring embrace. Whitewashed areas provide appealing variation.  The home features three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a stunning open-plan living area with designer kitchen, all spread over two storeys and 138sqm. The pitched ceiling soars to double height above the lounge and dining area. Bifold screens give the upstairs master bedroom, under the same pitched ceiling, a bird’s eye view on the action below. The recessed fireplace with built-in wood storage is a stunning feature, as is the sun seat nestled up to a large picture window in the dining area. Stainless steel steals the show in the kitchen where the sleek benches and splashback add an industrial edge. A bunk room and double guest room provide a good mix of accommodation. The large deck off the lounge is the perfect place to toast this stellar construction.
