Minimalist aesthetics with modern sensibilities meet the needs of contemporary family living in this architect's own home. Distinctive style and luxurious, dynamic and fresh cleverly-designed interiors sit behind a facade where natural stone has been perfectly fused with textured walls and timber in a striking yet understated streetscape.

Light filled and airy thanks to a variety of ceiling heights, carefully considered placement of double glazed windows and internal doors of frosted safety, glass internal spaces include a fitted home office with integrated storage and bespoke stone desk and three bedrooms.

The main includes a luxurious ensuite with huge walk in shower while the remaining two are served by a bathroom of equally inspiring design, finished with a free standing “egg” bath. Formal living shares a two-way gas log fire with casual living that's anchored by a streamlined, kitchen with wall to wall soft close storage options, Neff hot plate and stone waterfall benches. The fitted butlers pantry delivers a clutter free kitchen and includes a Gaggenau oven to please the inner gourmet.

Commercial grade sliding stackers open this area to the relaxing alfresco that includes an outdoor kitchen, gas fireplace, spa and glass walls for year round use. Designer lighting in black and white along with fixtures and fittings in matt black enhance a monochrome interior blessed with stone, metal and inbuilt storage everywhere to ensure clutter free living.

With hydronic heating, double garage with storage, floors of exposed aggregate, the extensive use of stone and easy access to all the lifestyle benefits of Laurimar, including the village, this is inspired living within an inspired design.
