Builders’ display homes showcase the best the construction firm has to offer. So naturally, they include the latest architectural features, quality appliances and beautiful interior design.

Buying a display home is an excellent way of getting a brand new home ready to move in to, with all the important choices and decisions made for you by the experts.

An outstanding example of a modern home straight from the top drawer is Home Group WA’s 2017 display home at 16 Ballindean Avenue in Bayonet Head.

Directly opposite a park in a new estate, the home looks special from the outside, with its charcoal-coloured brick, mid-grey tile roof, slatted timber feature to the portico and paved driveway.

Over the doorstep, it’s just as impressive, with a spacious entrance hall making a fine introduction to the home and the charcoal and grey theme continuing.

High ceilings and light decor enhance the open, sunny ambience in the main living area, comprising the air-conditioned family room, dining space and kitchen.

A vaulted ceiling with three feature skylights in the kitchen gives a contemporary edge to an entirely practical workspace, with sleek grey cabinets, a dishwasher, a five-burner gas cooktop, extra-wide oven, pantry, wine rack and granite breakfast bar.

A most useful addition to the kitchen is the adjoining scullery, with space for a dishwasher, shelving and a double sink. Here, dishes can be stacked after dinner, keeping them out of sight of dinner guests and the kitchen clear for cooking.

In addition to the open living space, there are three more areas for family members to either gather and enjoy each other’s company or find seclusion to do their own thing.

One is a formal lounge or TV room off the family room, another is an open office, playroom or activity room, and the third is the one which will be the most-used place in summer – a covered al fresco area. Pull-down cafe blinds can be used to protect the occupants from the weather, and there’s plenty of space for a barbecue, a big table setting and outdoor lounge seating.

At the back of the home is the beautifully appointed master bedroom, with a walk-in robe which doubles as a dressing room and a generous en suite bathroom, complete with shower, freestanding bath and vanity. Classy tiling, plush carpet and decor add opulence to this area, making it a welcome retreat for the owners.

Similarly, the main bathroom is spacious, with a walk-in shower, bath, vanity and separate toilet, and the other three bedrooms are all good-sized doubles with built-in robes.

Storage space is plentiful, in a generous storage room off the laundry, and a linen cupboard besides.

Stylish window treatments, superior quality tiling, carpets and flooring finish the home off beautifully, and a double garage and fenced, landscaped gardens are other benefits of this lovely home on a 565sqm block.

While the furniture is not included in the sale price, it gives an indication of the styling that can be achieved to show the home off to its best advantage.

Home Group WA will rent back the property at 6 per cent for one year from settlement, with four three-month options. So as an investment this is an excellent return.

Those thinking of building a new home should consider the many advantages offered by this contemporary display home, in an excellent family area, close to good schools and only a few minutes’ drive from Albany.
