When builders pay attention to every tiny detail, the result is a high-end home that doesn’t cost the earth. Although in this 236sqm house, which nails the point spectacularly, the earth is front and centre. The owners designed it with sustainability in mind, strategically placing windows to maximise sun and warmth, future-proofing with wiring for solar panels, and opting for natural products wherever possible. The four-bedroom north-facing entertainer is built for modern family living, and is a showpiece for craftsmanship, inside and out. Street appeal is achieved with black grooved panelling and timber cladding, the latter being skilfully applied to the garage door. Inside, the open-plan living is in tasteful tones that echo the exterior, and has custom-built timber cabinetry and raked ceilings. Ranch sliders with flush joinery open to decking with glass balustrades for unobstructed sea views. A high-spec kitchen carries on the natural theme with a Dekton benchtop and American oak features. In the main bedroom, you’ll find a built-in headboard, and windows that take in those views, and both bathrooms have fully tiled showers. Central air conditioning and heated polished concrete floors keep things comfy.
