This suburban home steps outside the square with an H-shaped design that significantly increases usable space and access to natural light. It also affords a welcoming entrance and a place for visitors to pause before moving into the main living area. The 221sqm footprint has been maximised for family life, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and spacious open-plan living. A separate laundry and double garage accommodate all those extra sundries a family accrues. The stylish and functional kitchen has a scullery for ample storage and an island providing extra bench space and a convivial place to gather. The streamlined benchtops are crisp in neutral stone. Outdoor living flows naturally, with decks and patios an easy segue from the kitchen and living areas. Hosting friends and family for outdoor festivities is certain to be a feature during the long, hot Canterbury summers. Timber flooring adds natural warmth to the stylish monochrome palette. Vertical cedar louvred panels distinguish spaces, creating a study nook just off the main living area. More than simply smart and well-designed, this house exhibits style with a homely touch that will endure.
