About this property

Abode · 284 words

This modern custom-designed home balances sharp architectural lines with a functional, low-maintenance finish, positioned to take full advantage of its alpine backdrop.

The exterior pairs light-grey plaster cladding with warm, vertical timber panelling under a dark corrugated steel roof, creating a striking profile from the street. A wide aggregate driveway leads to an attached over-sized double garage.

Read the full description

The property is securely bordered by classic post-and-rail fencing and manicured lawns, presenting a clean, established aesthetic before you even step inside.

At the heart of the home is a spacious, open-plan living and dining area defined by a high, vaulted ceiling and exposed black steel scissor trusses. This structural feature adds a distinct industrial edge to the room, which is balanced by crisp white walls and plush charcoal carpeting. With four bedrooms total, the fourth currently utilised as a media room, plus a separate study that could easily serve as a nursery, craft room, or library, the floor plan offers highly functional flexibility for a growing family.

A classic black log burner sits on a polished hearth, providing reliable warmth through the cooler months. The entire space feels grounded and expansive.

The floor plan is arranged in an L-shape that wraps around a sheltered, north-facing concrete aggregate patio, blurring the line between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Multiple sets of wide sliding glass doors open directly from the living zones to the sunny outdoor BBQ area, which features space for outdoor dining, casual lounging, and cooking, with a view directly out toward the mountains. A dense, mature green hedge lines the boundary, providing excellent wind protection and privacy without obstructing the panoramic views of the surrounding ranges.
