Designed for a retired couple, this single-level three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is exactly right for the owners’ lifestyle. It’s warm, sunny and open-plan. There’s plenty of room for vehicles, and even a space for a boat or campervan. And the maintenance? It’s a cinch, with powder-coated aluminium joinery, roof tiles and Linea weatherboards and plaster cladding on the exterior. The layout is ideal too. In the 186sqm floorplan you’ll find flowing living, dining and lounge spaces plus two sunny, covered alfresco areas, so sipping coffee outside is always an option. Screens provide privacy and shelter. The glossy kitchen is at the centre of everything and has a pantry and decent-sized breakfast bar – always a good place for visitors to gather or for chatting to the cook. Capturing the sun was also a major consideration in this build. The house is positioned to allow light to flood in and provide natural warmth. The main bedroom is a place of true relaxation, with a fresh, tiled ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. This home has plenty of storage options too – in the double garage and linen cupboard. In fact, it has it all.
