Relaxed family living meets a refined entertainer lifestyle in this GJ Gardner home – one that has personality at an affordable price
A key driver to achieving your new home is finding the right balance – an optimum mix of the best standard of design at the best price . GJ Gardner Homes created this home with just such an equation in mind .
The modified Byron Platinum design by GJ Gardner is an inviting family home that exudes style right from the lavastone entry wall and Plasma Glass panel front door , says franchisee Mike Fraser .
Inside , a soaring raked ceiling and wall-to-ceiling windows in the first of the home ’ s two generous living areas create a light-filled social space that is a pleasure to entertain in or simply spend time in .
Forming part of this generous space and positioned just a few steps from the home ’ s sheltered outdoor room , the home ’ s high-spec designer kitchen has a crisp white engineered stone benchtop and a spacious butler ’ s pantry offering additional bench space and storage .
The family-friendly design has three bedrooms , arranged for privacy , and two bathrooms . Both bathrooms feature cleanlined frameless showers accompanied by top-of-the-range fixtures and cabinetry .
With a roomy two-car garage and well over 200m 2 of usable floor space , the house is a versatile option for home builders . The already highly popular Byron Platinum has had some feature upgrades to achieve this eye-catching home . The house is ideal for catering to more than one social group at a time – adults in one living room and teenagers in the other , for example . It also boasts excellent indoor-outdoor flow .
