Second to none

When this family outgrew their home, they built on the land behind it. And what a build. Clad in vertical white timber, a sloping Colorsteel roof and powdercoated aluminium joinery, this four-bedroom house is light and airy with plenty of room; there was even enough space for an art studio and a pool. The driveway leads to a bricked double garage that provides internal access to the hallway. Downstairs, a separate media/rumpus room leaves plenty of space for the L-shaped kitchen and living area. With polished concrete floors, the kitchen is designed for busy family living; walnut storage units with brass handles provide contrast to the white benchtops and walls, while a double sink in the island ensures the cook can prep for meals and keep an eye on the kids. Sets of bifold glass doors provide access from both the kitchen and the living room to the backyard, complete with outdoor fire and pool. The art studio has its own access, behind the garage. Up the carpeted stairs, the main bedroom enjoys a walk-in wardrobe and white-tiled ensuite while the other three bedrooms have their own tiled bathroom. Durable and stylish, this is a home designed for happy family living.
