On the green fringes of Ashburton you’ll find a home that’s a perfect blend of contemporary design, convenience and extras tailored to the owners’ needs. One such client amenity is a carpeted triple garage that has oodles of storage for toys, vehicles, projects and more. To the house proper and the jewel of the crown the open-plan dining and living spaces, which arc around the sleek white kitchen. In fact, white is the consummate canvas for furniture, furnishings and the owners special pieces throughout the 233sqm three-bedroom home. These include russet-coloured dining chairs and bar stools, framed art, photographs and timber furniture. Expansive glazing, including sliding doors, allows green views to flood into this zone.

Step outdoors and onto a covered area that takes up an entire corner of the floorplan. The living is easy when it spills from the family and dining spaces out to the decking. Alfresco dining and sipping is always on the menu. The main-bedroom suite has a couple of notable additions: a walk-in wardrobe and a stylish ensuite. The home also has two more well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom, powder room and that must-have for working from home — an office. The harmonious design and sleek finishes extend to the exterior of the house, which is clad in dapper white plaster trimmed with timber-look panels. This is modern living at its finest.
