On the outskirts of Ashburton you’ll find this twin-gabled home resplendent in crisp white plaster accented with dark joinery and roofing, and vertical shiplap. It’s a study in strong, simple lines. It’s also a house that has every family want and need covered: four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a three-car garage with a workshop and attic storage, and plenty of other bells and whistles. The 243sqm floorplan is arranged in two wings with a link between. In the longer of the two, you’ll find the dark grey and timber-toned executive kitchen, which has flush cabinetry, feature splashback, sliding barn-style door and walk-in pantry. Radiating from this hub is the living zone with a statement curved fireplace and TV surround. The laundry and garage with internal access are also in this part of the house. In the other wing, you’ll find two bedrooms, including the main suite with tiled ensuite, walk-in wardrobe and underfloor heating for frosty days. The link that joins them has two more bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate toilet. Also connecting the pavilions, and making the most of the space between and beyond, is a timber deck. In summer, this is alfresco dining central. A flat, fenced section just steps away is the icing on this family-sized cake.
