House
The layout of this modern three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is one of its most striking features; a clever design that maximises natural light and creates a beautiful central entertaining courtyard. The other fabulous feature is the rear lane access and that means that rather than have the garage roller door as the home's front facade as is normally the case, the double garage is tucked at the rear with direct access to the kitchen and the storage area.
But back to that floor plan. The bedrooms run down one side of this modern home with the roomy master bedroom, with built-ins and ensuite, at the front. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are separated by the bathroom and the generous tub will suit families with young children.
Across the entry passage from the master bedroom is the front sitting room where big floor to ceiling windows flood this room with light. In fact, those big windows and glass doors are a feature throughout the home.
There's a windowed corridor past the bedrooms to the main lounge, so sitting and loungeroom hug that big central courtyard. At the rear the living, dining and kitchen is airy and open plan.
The kitchen has a dual sink in a generous island bench with caesar stone benchtop. Appliances are stainless steel and the cooktop's splashback has a glamorous lustre.
There are two doors here - the one of the left, leads to the galley-style laundry and the other is a generous pantry.
Marri timber floorboards run throughout the home and are enhanced by blinds and slim line venetians.
There's a lovely modern symmetry about this home. The dark rendered exterior is contrasted with colour trim. Paving outdoors means it's extremely low maintenance.
