Being situated on a corner site gives this two-storey home the luxury of having the front entrance on a separate face to the garage and driveway, which creates a pleasant arrival for visitors and good separation from other homes within the Hobsonville development. Pitch changes in the roofline, a mix of dark cedar and light weatherboard cladding, and downlights strung around the soffit create visual appeal day and night. Expansive dark kitchen cabinetry creates an impressive focal point inside against the marbled countertops and splashback. Step through to the scullery and the same cabinetry profile features in white. Timber floors bring warmth to the kitchen, living, dining and entry, and timber stairs with glass balustrades lead to the second floor.

Upstairs you’ll find not one, but two main bedrooms both with ensuites and walk-in robes. Two smaller bedrooms share a third bathroom and, if that wasn’t enough bedrooms and bathrooms, another set hides away next to the internal garage downstairs. Meanwhile, that corner-site positioning bathes a huge deck with all-day sun and fencing ensures privacy for all outdoor areas around the house. Large families take note – this home functions brilliantly for five and still has room for guests to stay. Only issue? They might not want to leave.
