Clever design is a hallmark of this show home in which all the living areas, three of the four bedrooms, the deck and a patio face north. The result is a sunny, warm 205sqm house that excels in terms of style, comfort, craftsmanship and even intrigue. A feature wall conceals a hidden door to the double garage. Raked ceilings bring volume and airiness to the entry, kitchen, dining and living areas. Further enhancing the feeling of space are sliders that, when open, extend the communal areas onto a stretch of hardwood decking. Bring on the barbecues, alfresco lunching or lounging around.

Back inside and you’ll notice the custom kitchen with premium joinery and extras, such as the curved peninsula clad in fluted timber and a window splashback. Living is easy and flexible. One space spills from the kitchen and dining zone; the separate lounge doubles as a media room. The main-bedroom sanctuary has access to a private patio, while in the family bathroom you’ll find a fluted freestanding bath. Indeed, there are tasteful flourishes in many rooms, including a sage feature wall and bathroom cabinetry, and a floral feature wall in the main suite. There’s plenty more to commend the home: a separate laundry, powder room and smart home technology. The exterior, a striking monopitch design in plaster and cedar, only adds to its appeal.
