in the first of several feature walls, guiding the
way to the open-plan living areas,” Walker says.
A focus of the modern, four-bedroom house
is the large 60m2 outdoor living area, floored in
coloured concrete. This is accessed directly from
the dining area, family rooms and master suite.
Drop-down screens and a wall-hung gas heater
protect the all-weather space from the elements.
In party mode, hors d’oeuvres and bubbles
are served directly from the designer kitchen out
through bifold windows to guests. Post-party
clean-up is a breeze, too, with easy-care granite
benchtops, generous storage and a large scullery.
“This home is all about lifestyle. The master
bedroom’s dressing room links to the ensuite,
the bathroom has wipe-clean, dado-high tiles
and the insulated double garage is carpeted.”
