A clever response to compact urban living, this 240sqm home delivers generous family spaces, without sacrificing privacy, light or architectural presence. Positioned on a freehold 465sqm site, the five-bedroom, four-bathroom residence combines crisp, contemporary lines with warm, highly liveable interiors. Streetside, the exterior makes a confident first impression through its sharp geometry, contrasting cladding and restrained palette of black and white. Inside, the mood softens. Timber flooring, textured surfaces and carefully integrated lighting bring warmth to the open-plan kitchen, dining and living zone, where oversized sliders connect to the deck and landscaped courtyard beyond.

The kitchen anchors the home with dark cabinetry, stone surfaces and open shelving. A dramatic full-height wine rack and sculptural pendant lighting add personality, while wide sightlines support the home’s focus on entertaining and everyday family life. Bathrooms continue the polished aesthetic, with large-format tiling, illuminated mirrors and floating timber vanities. Upstairs, a second living area and study nook create flexibility, while large windows frame leafy outlooks and draw natural light into the home. The layout has been carefully considered, with a ground-floor suite offering separation for guests. Elsewhere, layered textures, slatted feature walls and a restrained material palette give the interiors cohesion and sophistication.
