Built by highly regarded Design Builders Canterbury, this magnificent residence exemplifies the highest standard of modern living, with light-filled interiors that flow beautifully through the home and beyond, to thoughtfully integrated outdoor entertaining spaces. Professional interior design by Comber and Comber ensures a refined sense of style throughout and a carefully chosen palette of high-quality materials, including engineered oak flooring and solid ash floating wooden stairs, set this home apart. The property will be utilised by Design Builders Canterbury as a show home for the next 18 months, providing the opportunity for homeowners or investors to secure it now. Northwest orientation and substantial glazing ensure the open-plan living spaces are bathed in natural light and sun. A cleverly positioned double-height void, together with glass balustrades and floating stairs, pull yet more light down into the heart of the home. To the rear, the spacious casual living comprises sitting and dining areas, conveniently climate-controlled thanks to a wall-mounted heat-pump, and with stacking sliders to outdoor living wrapping around three elevations. To the northeast is a level lawn area against a comprehensively planted backdrop of ornamental shrubs and trees, while to the northwest a large Kwila deck extends along the length of the living space, including a beautifully sheltered al fresco dining zone protected by a louvre roof. Back inside, the kitchen is a masterful fusion of form and function, with a luxurious engineered stone waterfall counter, sleek satin cabinetry and sumptuous extras including LED lighting and a brushed brass gooseneck tap. Ample storage is amplified by a wellappointed scullery with matching cabinetry, while high-spec appliances include two Smeg under-bench ovens, an induction hob and wine fridge, plus a Fisher & Paykel integrated fridge-freezer. Engineered oak flooring runs through the airy central gallery to a more formal lounge, where an Escea gas fire lends a note of elegance set in a tiled feature wall. Stacking sliders connect the outdoor living here too, ensuring unrivalled flow for seamless family living and entertaining. Upstairs, the master bedroom is a palatial adults retreat with pitched ceiling and feature window joinery. Custom cabinetry and LED lighting elevate the WIR and a fully tiled en suite bathroom includes a twin vanity and monsoon shower. Two more generous double bedrooms on this level are served by a tiled family bathroom with sculptural standalone bath, and a fourth bedroom downstairs is adjacent to an additional bathroom - an ideal arrangement for guests or for use as a home office. A separate laundry, complete with Asko washing machine and dryer, and an internalaccess double garage complete a sensational 283.3 sqm floorplan. LED lighting throughout the interior and exterior, integrated with a PDL Wiser Smart Home system, adds future-proofed efficiency and convenience, complemented by ducted air-conditioning and thermally broken double-glazed joinery.
