Take a floorplan that offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms, add an exterior with smart bevel-back horizontal weatherboard and vertical cedar cladding, and include beautifully executed details, and what have you got? This 188sqm home that also has a hardwood deck that stretches the width of the property has everything needed for modern family living, plus more. It’s hard to go past the open-plan space with stylish kitchen in muted tones that merges into a dining space and, around the corner, a living room. Both have wide sliders that, when open to the north-facing decks, transform into indoor-outdoor havens for relaxing and entertaining. You’ll also find a bedroom, bathroom and double garage on this level.

Upstairs are three more bedrooms, and the main suite has an ensuite and dressing room. There’s another family bathroom up here, and even an office. Bathrooms are all tiled with matte finishes. Though the sunny home is a seamless blend of smooth contemporary design and tasteful decor, you’ll also find statement features – black taps, fittings, towel rack and basins in the bathrooms; black fixtures, appliances and trims in the kitchen; and there’s a black handrail on the staircase. This house, along with others in its development, is designed for family living, but also for discerning buyers seeking quality finishes, warmth, light, indoor-outdoor living and sustainable design.
