Large windows on the north-facing faade fill the living areas with light, there are zones for adults and children to have their own spaces, while coming together as a family is easy. Glass sliders open the rear of the home to the deck, garden and solar heated pool for indoor-outdoor entertaining.

Architect David Neil of Neil Architecture created this spectacular five bedroom, three bathroom home, building on the bones of the existing structure. A palette of timber, marble and concrete create warm, textured interiors. Full height doors, three metre high ceilings, oak panels, bespoke tiles and hidden cabinetry are more features. External louvres, adjustable from the inside, balance heat, light and privacy and a central void creates a feeling of openness.

An oak -lined entrance leads to the formal living with gas fireplace and family room with an open fireplace. A study is next to the kitchen, which showcases a full suite of Miele appliances including coffee machine, Artedomus tiled splashback and concrete benchtops. Sliding doors open to the deck with built-in barbeque at one end and pool, serviced by powder room and outdoor shower, at the other. In the Eckersley Stafford designed garden, trailing Virginia creeper provides summer shade and contrasts with the concrete faade and bluestone surrounds.

Back inside, a spacious north-facing home office is reached by its own staircase. Upstairs, three large bedrooms with built-in robes share a family bathroom with shower and freestanding bath. The luxurious main suite includes a walk-in wardrobe and Carrara marble ensuite with underfloor heating and dual vanity. A north-facing childrens play room/5th bedroom retreat is also on this level.
