There’s plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the expansive living spaces in this five-bedroom home situated in Silverdale. The main hub is light, sunny and spacious, with lots of windows through which the natural light streams, and sliding doors to a large deck that wraps partially around, so you can follow the sun throughout the day. The palette in this large and lovely open-plan living room, kitchen and dining space marries modernity and earthiness. Home cooks can stay connected to the goings-on in the rest of the house, while cooking up a storm on the Melteca melamine board kitchen benchtop, in Uniquartz ‘White Sand’. The addition of wood accents, thanks to cupboards and the additional shelving at the breakfast bar, softens the look and complements the wooden flooring.

The main open space leads, via timber stairs, to a lower split level, where another versatile room can be used as a second lounge or study. All of the bathrooms are upstairs, along with a resort-style bathroom, beautifully tiled in a dusky grey, with his-and-hers basins and a deep bath. The exterior features a combination of Envira Shiplap and Linea Oblique weatherboard, New Zealand brick and sleek James Hardie Stria cladding for an understated yet thoroughly welcoming home.
