Outside, this home is all stylish moody-hued rusticated western red cedar and tulipwood. Step inside, however, and you’re greeted by a white, bright and airy interior, punctuated with darker joinery and designer features such as the double fireplace surround. In this 336sqm house, contrast is captivating, but there’s much more to the five-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom home than its palette. The layout, spread over two floors, offers three distinct living areas — perfect for family living, entertaining and quiet ‘me’ time. These rooms, flooded with natural light, spill seamlessly to a multi-tiered hardwood deck stepping down to a landscaped garden.

An upstairs balcony off the main-bedroom suite offers more opportunity to relax and soak up the lovely views. You don’t need to look far to notice the craftsmanship. You can see it in the heart of the home: the bespoke kitchen with Italian porcelain benchtops and island with waterfall ends, European tapware and the scullery with its own walk-in pantry. Add in high-end appliances and you have extraordinary places to prep food, develop culinary creations and entertain family and friends. Engineered European oak flooring and Italian and Spanish tiles create a warm, refined atmosphere. You wouldn’t expect anything less from this showcase of skill and sophistication.
