Some home buyers dream of nothing more than a blank canvas and the opportunity to create a home exactly as they wish. Others are happy to be drawn into someone else’s vision, and step into a new, or newish, home designed for modern family life.
They may not be heritage yet, but they’re sure to leave an impression for the long term. Here are some of our favourites.
35 Gilgandra Road, North Bondi NSW
Imagine having a kitchen this size to entertain, plus a butler’s pantry to hide away the mess and preparation - complete with two ovens. The bright open-plan living area makes way to a calm main bedroom with a curved window, dual walk-in wardrobes and a luxe en suite. There’s a sauna, wine cellar, home theatre and swimming pool.
This newly built home in Canada Bay begins with an arch-studded facade and continues the elegant curves through the kitchen island, the living room walls, the al fresco pavilion and even the bathroom. Luxe details include Venetian plaster walls, Calacatta Viola stone in the en suite and Taj Mahal stone in the kitchen. There are landscaped front and back gardens.
13 Ingleside Road, Ingleside NSW
This northern beaches home has a design that reflects its location, with a coastal palette and rattan pendant lights. East-facing windows in the main bedroom let in the sunshine – and there’s a balcony for residents who want to start their morning with a coffee and enjoy the view. The living room opens to an entertaining terrace and barbecue, then the backyard.
