A leisurely pace of life

Nestled in the privacy of a gum-lined crescent is this four-bedroom contemporary house on a generous allotment with plenty of space for children to play and for parents to entertain.

Attention to detail has been paid to the front landscaped garden with pebbled and paved paths, succulents, yuccas, ground covers and flowers creating a low-maintenance but appealing welcome mat. A bright red door opens to a truly modern space with polished floorboards, white walls and downlights. A semi-open lounge room is naturally lit by large windows with roller blinds — a feature found throughout.

There is internal access to the double garage, while a powder room, laundry with external access, and understairs storage are all situated at the front.

A sliding door accesses the open-plan kitchen and family-meals area at the back. There is ample room for a dining setting and a separate area for family living.

The kitchen is both practical and stylish with Smeg stainless-steel appliances including a dishwasher, overhead cubed shelving, a walk-in pantry and a Caeserstone-topped island bench, which doubles as a breakfast bar. Add to this a stainless-steel bench and plenty of storage and it’s fit for any gourmet chef.

Upstairs is a teenage or parents’ retreat which is big enough to fit in a study nook as well as a home theatre set-up.

Three good-sized bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and downlights. They share a sparkling white bathroom with hourglass-shaped bath. At the other end is the luxurious and spacious main bedroom with a sitting area, dressing room and fitted robe.

A luxurious ensuite has a large shower and Caeserstone-topped double vanity. A private balcony provides the perfect getaway for parents.

The outside stacks up in the size department as well. Two lemon trees sit proudly at the back, while lawn, raised veggie boxes and paths fill the remaining space. A semi-undercover entertainment area has a pebbled concrete floor and a bamboo plantation provides a private barrier.
