This golden shiplap and dark weatherboard house might be CZ Homes’ first residential property development, but it doesn’t show. The handsome 222sqm house is what happens when a cutting-edge contemporary design is put into the hands of a dedicated, professional building team. The five-bedroom house is a showcase of clean lines, high ceilings and an abundance of natural light. Every detail has been carefully considered, every feature curated to ensure style and functionality are seamless. The grand foyer leads to the heart of the home, the kitchen, dining and living space that flows onto a timber deck with glass balustrade. While the rest of the house is decorated in neutral and natural tones, the kitchen is a place of drama. Slate-grey kitchen cabinets and dark timber are offset with downlighting, spotlights and a long, narrow window behind the cooktop. The curved island, with a marbled top and grooved sides, is a star in its own right.

Off to the right of the communal zone is the main-bedroom suite with walk-in robe, ensuite and access to the deck. You’ll also find a double garage with laundry. To the left are four bedrooms, another living room and two tiled bathrooms. The most northerly room is down a side-lit timber flight of steps. It’s yet further evidence that this home is a result of scrupulous craftsmanship.
