This smart Dunedin showhome is a stellar example of a family home that is both comfortable and practical to live in. It’s also very stylish; pale bricks on external pillars are repeated on a feature wall just inside the entry. With extensive glazing and indoor-outdoor flow, it’s also a very warm house, inviting the sunshine into each of the seamlessly united spaces. The layout features three smartly arranged bedrooms, two bathrooms, a partitionable lounge, separate laundry and centrally located study nook that can be closed away behind bifold doors.

A gas fireplace integrated into the wall makes for a toasty living room, and wooden floors add depth and character to the entrance hallway and kitchen. This light and inviting space has charcoal-brown finishes, an eye-catching patterned splashback, and a butler’s pantry with excellent storage tucked discretely behind the oven wall. Beautifully offsetting the home’s neutral exterior is professionally designed and executed landscaping, and there are multiple outdoor living options, from the sheltered, private timber deck off the dining to the sunny patio and rear entertaining deck so residents can follow the sun. Tasteful finishes create cohesion throughout. Notable design features include the geometrically patterned tiles in the bathroom and a generous marbled benchtop in the laundry.
