With this elegant home, dark handsome cladding plus a light, bright interior equals modern and marvellous. It’s clear from the outset that this three-bedroom home with two bathrooms, two living rooms and a study is going to be a beauty. The twin-gabled exterior with black board-andbatten trimmed with white joinery, soffits and surrounds is smart and commands attention. Inside, it is every bit as stylish, but reverses the palette. Crisp white and pale tones are contrasted with dark accents such as the black kitchen island benchtop, bathroom vanity tops, sliding barn door runners and some furniture. It works a treat. The sense of volume and airiness is achieved with a high stud throughout and a scissor-truss ceiling over the open-plan kitchen, dining and living zone.
A key must-have of the 233sqm design was an abundance of natural light and the house delivers here, too. Tall windows and sliding doors that open to wow-factor outdoor living spaces, including a loggia, ensure there’s plenty of sun to illuminate and warm. The main bedroom at the very end of a wing in the L-shaped house has a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and sliders that connect to the outdoors. There’s plenty more on the expertly constructed property’s CV, too, including a kitchen scullery, powder room and internal-access double garage with laundry. Modern, marvellous — and meticulous.
