In Sanctuary Lakes resort, next door to a waterfront park and within a leisurely amble of shops, schools and sporting facilities, this house offers an elegant style represented in a columned entry hall, classic window dressings and expanses of polished floorboards. But it also makes a bold statement in the kitchen where glossy red cupboards combine with splashbacks in grey glass and tiles; it has a 900mm gas cooker under a canopy rangehood. The four bedrooms include the main with en suite and there’s a spa. Living areas are lounge and rumpus rooms and a family-meals area abutting the kitchen; there’s also a study. Outside, on a block of about 601 square metres, everything is designed for minimum maintenance with side and backyards laid with pebbles and decorative feature tiles. The property has ducted heating, two air-conditioners, 24-hour monitored security and a double garage – and residents have access to the resort’s gyms, saunas and pools.
