On approach to this bespoke Canterbury home for mum, dad and four boys, the stone veneer wall creates a dramatic entrance. Maintaining the sense of occasion, the towering 2400mm wood-grain plasma door opens up to the extensive interior. Grandeur continues with the stone wall leading to the huge pavillion-style main living area, where stonework rises more than four metres high to meet the ceiling. It wraps all sides of the wall, enclsoing a central double-sided gas fire embellished with Cerano hearths and grey ironbark mantelpieces.

All this aside, the statement piece is the vaulted ceiling, metting at the axis of each gable – a complex feat and credit to the building team. Highly polished concrete floors reflect the light in the living area, which opens onto an expansive outdoor area – the capacious swimming pool takes centre stage here.

No amenities have been excluded, with the 361 sqm, five-bedroom home featuring a media room and a television room, two bathrooms, powder room and a seperate toilet. The garage is big enough for a gym. Entertaining has been well considered, with a spacious kitchen and a dedicated bar. For this family home, every possible luxury has been afforded.
