If you want a house that presents solidity and style in equal measure, look no further. With its brick cladding, stone accents and long-run steel roof, the three-bedroom property has instant street appeal. It also eases beautifully into the neighbourhood. This is family living at its best: two bathrooms, open-plan living and a separate lounge mean plenty of room for everyone within the 211sqm footprint. That’s not all. The stylish kitchen has quality appliances, engineered stone benchtops and a walk-in pantry. For convenience, the separate laundry is accessed off the double garage. Open-plan interior living segues to a private outdoor entertaining area – sublime during Methven summers. In winter, the owners stay warm with a heat pump and gas fire. The main bedroom is a sanctuary, with a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite with custom-tiled shower. Yes, this house has all the mod cons needed for contemporary family life, and is also a study in how to create a light, bright interior. Sliders and floor-to-ceiling windows allow the sunlight in, while the neutral decor reflects it. There’s no denying the sense of airiness and feeling of space here.
