Think this house looks good from the outside? You’d be right – vertical cedar shiplap with dark plaster, roofing, trim and joinery is a winning combination. But just wait until you step inside and catch sight of the beauty within. The 221sqm, two-storey executive/family home, on a 400sqm section captures views of a reserve to the north, yet it’s the craftsmanship in the three-bedroom, two-living room (or four-bedroom, one-living room) home that demands attention. Downstairs you’ll find the open-plan communal room anchored by a kitchen, with scullery, that is as much visual art as a place in which to create culinary masterpieces. Moody tones and textures abound, and the island that morphs into a dining table is a standout. Over this hovers a trio of complementary pendants in differing shapes.

The mood lightens in the living space that has bifold doors which open onto an apron of timber decking. On this floor, you’ll also find: two more bedrooms, one of which enjoys access to the outdoor living; a bathroom; powder room; laundry; linen cupboard; and garage. Upstairs? Two more bedrooms, one with a dressing room and an astonishing dark-toned tiled bathroom with a black bath sitting on a marble platform. There are other striking details in the home such as feature wallpaper, in-built shelving and pewter-like double bathroom basins. Style is part of its DNA.
