THE MAGIC TOUCH

This home’s list of qualities is long. Take the two striking dark-brick pavilions connected by a two-storey link clad in redwood sourced from the owners’ own property. Or the bells-and-whistles kitchen with its walk-in pantry and breakfast bar. But it is, perhaps, the louvre-covered tricked-out courtyard that casts the most powerful spell. Head through doors from the dining space and you’ll find this outdoor room with a fire and an outdoor kitchen, complete with a butler’s sink and stained ply cabinets. It’s sheltered, offers shade in summer, warmth in winter and is the ultimate space for a dinner party, casual gathering or just a week-night barbie. The 200sqm three-bedroom house makes the most of its 477sqm section. A deck ushers visitors into the double-height entrance and ground-floor living, which is designed for entertaining. You’ll see a raked ceiling above an open-plan kitchen/living/dining area. This floor also has the luxurious main bedroom, which opens to a patio and has an ensuite accessed through a walk-in wardrobe. You’ll find the remaining two bedrooms and bathroom upstairs.
