Welcome home

This custom showhome by G.J. Gardner has a strong so-glad-to-get-home appeal.

The three-bedroom home's appeal starts right from the street with a textured metal tile roof and eye-catching two-tone cladding in character brickwork and limed oak-stained cedar.

A clean, modern double garage door and expansive turning area add to the home's exterior presence.

Through the central front door and there is the formal family room to the right and the expansive family kitchen space straight ahead.

Cosy living 

The carpeted front room/lounge has windows on two walls, making for a sunny, comfy place for entertaining or just hanging out – having more than one living space greatly enhances the versatility of the family home.

Expansive family/dining/refined kitchen

The family room/kitchen zone beyond takes up a third of the home and is ideal for both family life and entertaining.

Generous glazing throws natural light on the wood-look floors for a natural, welcoming vibe.

At one end of this generous space, the kitchen commands attention with a crisp white island complete with inset, wood-lined display storage – another warm touch – together with double inset sinks and a Methven Minimalist pull-down, sink mixer.

The twinkling mirrored finger tile splashback adds a bling factor to the stand-out kitchen while at rear the extractor over the modern induction hob has a wood finish – tying in with the island display shelving and the flooring.

A gleaming stainless steel fridge completes the picture with entry to the generous walk-in scullery to the right.

The other half of the home is given over to a dedicated laundry with direct exterior access, the double garage, three bedrooms and a a main bathroom and master ensuite.

The bathrooms in this home reflect the same attention to fine finishes and a strong design presence.

Main bathroom – roomy with a design presence

The main bathroom has feature brick tilework behind the Newtech Newark tub – a back-to-wall tub has the sculptural look of a freestanding tub but takes up less space and avoids the potentially back-breaking task of cleaning behind it.

Master ensuite – all set in stone

The master ensuite has the look of a hotel-style bathroom with marble-look large format ceramic tiles covering walls and floors and continuing into the roomy glass fronted shower stall.

Plus, the cantilevered, double-sink vanity boasts black benchtop vessels – continuing the pampering vibe.

Master bedroom – private yet well connected

Situated in the rear corner of the home, the master suite has a private feel.

Again, windows on two walls make for a light, airy bedroom space with open access to the master ensuite and large walk-in robe.

Family first – everything considered

The other two bedrooms also feature exterior windows and built in wardrobes, with one ideally doubling as a home office or study.

All three bedrooms are carpeted.

Other thoughtful touches through the showhome include the laundry's appealing mosaic tile splashback and wood-finish upper storage cabinetry.

There is also a dedicated storage room at the centre of the home, behind the kitchen.

Light-filled with refined finishes, plenty of entertaining options and an ambient warmth, this home is welcoming for its family and guests.
