From the outside, this twin-gabled beauty is an elegant crisp-white feature against nature, a schist pillar adding a touch of southern character. This family home by Shaun Rabbidge Builders was designed with the client’s adult son in mind, encompassing a separate bedroom wing for independence and privacy. With four bedrooms, two luxurious bathrooms and two living areas spread over a single level, it offers a versatile lifestyle with plenty of space to work or play. The heart of the home is the majestic open-plan family area with high raked ceilings. Angled skylights flood the space with warmth and sunlight and sliding doors open it to a timber deck and sunny, flat lawn.

The matte-charcoal designer kitchen has generous benchtops for effortless entertaining, a glamorous marbled splashback, a communal island bench with dramatic up-lighting, and a roomy butler’s pantry complete with a drinks’ fridge. From the wooden floors and into the carpeted living area, which is anchored by a beautiful bookcase that doubles as a partial wall into a second cosy lounge. The home’s smart features continue throughout, from the nature-inspired wallpaper in the hallway and powder room to ample windows that showcase the landscaping outside. Solar panels on the roof complete this thoughtful design.
