With its crisp white brick and contrasts of warm vertical timber, this home gets off to a winning start. Add in features such as a covered welcoming entrance and the street appeal is complete. The positive news continues when you step through the front door. The handsome 226sqm four-bedroom home is every inch as good inside. Style and function are expertly combined, which is exactly what’s required of a house created to showcase builders’ skills and fire the imagination of would-be buyers.

At the centre of the home and extending into one of the T-shaped property’s three wings is the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, which benefits from soaring vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. As a result this central living space is flooded with light. Anchoring the space is the kitchen with LED lighting, a breakfast bar and luxe touches such as high-end appliances, stone benchtops and a scullery. The latter has a buffet window which connects to a private outdoor sanctuary with kwila decking and a fireplace. Too cold for entertaining outdoors? No worries. There’s a built-in bar in the living room. Cocktails, anyone? The house has two bathrooms (one a main- bedroom ensuite), a separate laundry and double garage. Plentiful storage includes an over-garage attic with pull-down stairs. This show home is a true showcase of craftsmanship and design.
