Houses don’t need to be sprawling to pack a punch, and this charming pavilion-style home is a prime example. At 198sqm, it’s not the biggest in its suburb, but there’s no mistaking the style, inside and out. With vertical weatherboard and plaster cladding, double gables and a link with welcoming entrance, plus dark metal roofing, trim, doors and joinery, it has street appeal aplenty. It’s amped up further at night when LEDs illuminate the gables. The H-shaped house, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two living spaces, was designed to accommodate an irregular-shaped section and to meet the clients’ budget. That’s not all. It’s not hard to spot illustrations of flair, creativity and a design that capture both sun and views of bush, hills and paddocks to the west.

Open the front door, turn left and in you’re in the open-plan living wing, which has a dining-living room flowing from a lovely kitchen with walk-in pantry and timber cabinetry, island and vertical screening. Black textured tiles and a dark fridge provide striking contrasts. A separate media room adjoins the living space and the custom-built entertainment unit provides wow factor. Turn right to find a hall linking the bedrooms, tiled bathroom, office, separate laundry and double garage. The main bedroom has a walk-in robe and tiled ensuite. This is a modern, attractive family home with touches of luxury in every corner.
