Located in a peaceful, family-friendly suburb, this architecturally designed house has been the heart of a growing family’s journey for over a decade. Purchasing the land with dreams of building their forever home, the owners embarked on their adventure in 2002, envisioning a sanctuary where their children could grow and thrive. Though the 2003 bushfires delayed their plans, their perseverance paid off when the build was completed in May 2008.
Designed by Adrian Lance of Heyward Lance Architecture and brought to life by Creative Building Services, this cherished haven was custom-tailored for their family lifestyle, with every detail thoughtfully planned to accommodate the evolving needs of family life. Its modern exterior, a blend of painted render, brick, corrugated iron, and wood panelling, exudes timeless charm. Inside, natural light floods the spacious living areas, creating an inviting atmosphere. Sonia Archer of Archertec Interior Design curated the interior’s neutral palette, ensuring an elegant yet functional backdrop for daily life.
From sunny mornings in the open plan kitchen to cosy evenings in the separate lounge, this home has seen countless moments of connection. The meticulously crafted kitchen features Caesarstone benchtops, high-end Bosch and Tony Blanco appliances, and sleek storage solutions, perfect for creating meals and memories alike. The seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces invites gatherings that extend onto the upper deck, where panoramic views over the Lanyon Valley and the Rob Roy Reserve await.
The generously sized master bedroom set the scene for serene relaxation, with a generous wardrobe and private ensuite with separate toilet. For the children, the oversized bedrooms offered personal retreats, while the additional study served as a versatile space for homework and as the home office. The family room, with its raked and square set ceilings and abundant storage, became a favourite spot for movie nights, games, and shared stories. Meanwhile, the lower rumpus room provided a private escape, with its separate street access making it an ideal space for growing teenagers or creative pursuits.
Throughout the years, the home adapted to every chapter of the family’s story. Its energy-efficient design, with double-glazed windows, strategic orientation, and the addition of solar panels, ensured comfort year-round, while thoughtful features like Brivis zoned heating and cooling enhanced daily living. Outside, the landscaped gardens, designed by a local landscape architect, offered low-maintenance beauty and direct access to walking trails of Rob Roy Reserve, fostering a strong connection with nature.
This is more than just a house; it’s a story waiting for its next chapter. As the homeowners prepare to downsize, they leave behind a legacy of love and cherished memories. Christmas celebrations, milestones, and countless gatherings have filled these walls with joy. They’ll miss the tranquillity, the views, and the sense of privacy that this home so generously offers. For families seeking a place to grow, dream and thrive, this home is ready to welcome you with open arms. From its thoughtful design to its family-oriented layout, it offers the perfect backdrop for creating your own lifelong memories.
