Seldom do houses tick every single box but with this executive home, each wish-list item is present and correct. It even has an in-ground swimming pool and shady pergola with kwila decking. It helps that the home, clad in a winning combination of white plaster and grey vertical weatherboard, and with stone columns, sits on a sun-soaked section. The 269sqm home has four spacious bedrooms, two living rooms, open-plan dining/living, two bathrooms, a guest toilet and an office where the owners run their businesses. Three-car garaging offers plenty of space for cars, laundry and gym equipment. The 30sqm of attic space provides storage for camping and fishing gear, and more. This family home is cosy, too. It’s warmed by a ducted heat pump and has in-slab air-to-water heating.

You’ll also find 22 solar panels on the roof. Every practical component has been thoroughly thought through and adeptly executed, but so has the ambience. Dark-framed double-glazed joinery frames views out to the pool deck, trees and the streetscape. This includes bifold doors that open communal spaces to the great outdoors. Raised vege beds outside ensure garden-to-plate dining. Crisp white walls are an ideal backdrop for designer touches such as the bathroom tiles and wallpaper in the powder room and main-bedroom suite. Every inch of the property was designed for its family, including a vibrant child’s room in purple.
