Welcome to comfort, quality and style. This contemporary three-bedroom home in Ashburton makes an immediate impression with its smart exterior cladding, a combination of masonry brick, grey weatherboards, macrocarpa entry decking and exposed aggregate path and patios. The feel-good factor doesn’t stop there, however. Step inside, turn left into a bright open communal zone that takes up an entire wing and spills onto the patio that has built-in macrocarpa seats. Sit down and relax with a cuppa or enjoy alfresco meals out here. Back inside you’ll notice treats that imbue the house with pared-back style such as the sleek monochrome kitchen with a finger-tile splashback, peninsula breakfast bar and walk-in pantry.

Macrocarpa shelving in the dining area is another touch of class. Venture further into the 171sqm home to find the bedrooms, including the main suite with walk-in robe and ensuite with a sleek tiled shower. You’ll also see a main bathroom with tiles and striking black fittings and trims. The practical has been covered with just as much care. You’ll also find a powder room and a double garage with integrated laundry and plenty of attic storage. Every detail has been designed for everyday comfort as well as laidback elegance.
