A show home is a window display for a builder’s skills and gives would-be buyers inspiration for what’s possible. This Milestone 7 house achieves both beautifully. The three-bedroom home also demonstrates optional upgrades, such as ducted heating, attic storage and a tiled ensuite. The 205sqm house delights from the get-go. Gables, white plaster and grooved timber cladding ensure instant street appeal. Open the front door and you are greeted with a spacious entry leading into the open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. Off to the side is a separate carpeted cosy lounge for movie nights or get-togethers with friends.

The kitchen, in classic black and white, has a walk-through pantry that opens into the garage – ideal for hauling a car-load of groceries inside. The alfresco area, off the dining and family spaces, is just the spot for relaxing or hosting summer gatherings. It’s an entertainer’s dream. Two double bedrooms with large wardrobes provide plenty of space for children to play, and the main-bedroom suite, with a walk-in robe and tiled walk-in shower, is a true sanctuary. Tiles behind the vanity have surprised many visitors who’ve assumed they’re wallpaper. There’s also storage aplenty in a hall cupboard, separate laundry and attic above the double garage. This is a home designed for ease of living; it’s light, spacious and built for the sun.
