Set across a generous corner site, this 410sqm home makes full use of its dual-street frontage, with a triple garage on one side of the site and a second triple garage on the other, enhancing both functionality and flow. From the street, the low-slung, single-storey form is articulated through a palette of light textured masonry, warm timber tones and a bronze-toned tray roof. The material combination gives the home weight and warmth, a quality that continues in the interior

The open-plan living, dining and kitchen spaces are highly detailed, with a concealed second lounge and office behind a hidden door, revealed via a double-sided fireplace. Sliding glass doors open the living space to a covered entertaining area, designed as a transition between indoors and out. Polished concrete floors define this zone, creating a clear demarcation from the main interior living areas, where timber flooring establishes a warmer, more intimate feel. A timber-lined ceiling carries through both spaces, visually linking them while maintaining their distinct character. The main suite is positioned as a private retreat away from living zones. A generous ensuite with full-height tiling and dual showers, a walnut-lined walk-in wardrobe, and access to the garden, reinforce its sense of calm. With its rich material palette and carefully resolved planning, this home balances architectural clarity with everyday liveability.
