Showing the Way

Some show homes manage the fine balance between refinement and wow-factor, and this is one of the best. From the street, pavilions with white plaster and dark weatherboard result in a timeless and classic look. Then, you notice the fire engine-red front door, a punch of colour that sets the bar high for the rest of the 218sqm beauty. Wherever you look you’ll see examples of curated colour — a sage-hued powder room, gold accents on the kitchen island and rangehood, and bathroom tiles in organic shades. White interior walls, timber-look floorboards and neutral carpet provide the ideal backdrop.

Thoughtful design separates the communal areas from the sleeping wing, which has four bedrooms, a family bathroom and powder room. The main-bedroom retreat has more wow-factor – a walk-in wardrobe with a make-up nook, ensuite with double shower, and sliders that spill out to a suntrap patio. Now to the home’s centrepiece: the open-plan living, dining and kitchen zone, which flows to the patio. Sliders and floor-to-ceiling windows flood this space with light. In the kitchen, sleek timber cabinets, curved edges and premium appliances add touches of luxury. A separate lounge lends versatility. With a double internal-access garage, separate laundry and kitchen scullery, there’s plenty of storage – as well as comfort, sustainability and style.
