If you thought all modern houses were the same, this beautiful family home will make you think again.
It has a refreshingly different floor plan offering flexibility of use and thoughtful design features to make life easy.
In a streetscape of similar homes in a quiet Bayonet Head street, it looks a picture with a rendered brick and Colorbond façade and paved driveway leading to a double under-main-roof garage.
It’s when you step inside, though, the home shows its distinction. Full-length windows in most rooms let in plenty of light while stylish décor, tiling and flooring finish the place off brilliantly.
At the front door, the entrance hall opens onto an activity or second sitting area, which leads through to the generous open living room. This airy space has hardwearing vinyl plank flooring and windows on three walls as well as air conditioning for year-round comfort.
It combines the family room, dining area and along one side, the kitchen. This is a well-planned workspace with a big island bench, dishwasher, extra-wide oven, five-burner gas cooktop and an appliance nook at one end to keep clutter out of the main kitchen.
For outdoor living, there’s a lovely private patio overlooking the back garden, which is mostly in lawn with a raised veggie bed ready for planting.
A welcome refuge for parents is the impressive master suite. This has a sizeable ensuite shower room with twin basins and a separate toilet, a walk-in robe and air conditioning, as well as glass doors opening onto the patio for lazy weekend brunches.
The three kids’ bedrooms are on the opposite side of the house. All doubles with built-in robes, they share the main bathroom with bath, shower and smart cabinetry, and the separate toilet.
As well as the double garage, which has an interior door to the hallway, double gates at the side of the house open onto the back yard and an impressive freestanding Colorbond shed-workshop. This has power and lighting and a high-clearance roller door for the caravan or boat.
With so many family-friendly features and proximity to good schools, shops, fishing, swimming and boating, this property is sure to appeal to discerning modern families.
