Laidback living never looked so good. While this 298sqm four-bedroom home has everything modern families are looking for, including indoor-outdoor flow for casual dining, it’s also a looker. The architect-designed U-shaped beauty, clad in vertical and horizontal cedar weatherboard and Sto Plaster, is an attractive convergence of angles, rooflines, textures, cantilevers and patios. It’s a hard act to follow, but the interior doesn’t disappoint. The expansive modern kitchen and living spaces have large bifold doors that lead to two outdoor areas, one with an automated louvre roof. The flat landscaped section is tailormade for alfresco dining and entertaining.

Adjacent is a games room with a pool table and wine fridge – yet another spot for gatherings with family and friends. These take up one of the two wings, plus the link between. The second wing has three bedrooms, one with ensuite, a family bathroom, separate laundry, powder room and double garage. Ascend the open-riser stairs to find a jewel of the home – the main-bedroom retreat. It has a fully tiled ensuite with a standalone bath and double shower, walk-in robe and a private lounge. This house strikes the perfect balance of flair and function. The flair? You’ll see it in the grey kitchen island, the powder room with green tongue-and-groove and wallpaper, and a detailed feature wall in the main-bedroom suite.
