Timeless Appeal
Nestled in a serene rural valley, this three-bedroom dwelling pairs clean-lined architecture with characterful details and a layout tailored to the needs of its residents. Designed for a professional couple, the home includes two main bedrooms at opposite ends of the house — a thoughtful feature that provides flexibility, space and privacy. Board-and-batten cladding and a gabled entry offer an updated take on the modern barn, while inside soft grey and green tones evoke calm. Shaker-style cabinetry, textured feature tiles and freestanding vanities add to the charm and personality of the interior.
The single-level house spans 176sqm and includes two bathrooms and a central living space, with views in all directions. The site’s rural location enhances the home’s connection to nature, with careful orientation to capture both northern light and vistas across the valley. Despite its modest footprint, the home feels considered and generous, offering all the functionality needed for modern life, without compromising on character. A freestanding garage sits just beyond the main structure, helping retain a strong architectural profile. With its clever use of space, gentle aesthetic and bespoke floorplan, this home feels perfectly at ease in its setting – equally timeless and distinctly personal.
