Ruru Street

Sitting proudly on a corner site is this 226sqm home that catches the eye of passers-by. It’s probably the attractive mix of claddings – vertical golden cedar, which contrasts nicely with horizontal weatherboard in light grey and vertical board in black. But if you think it looks good on the outside, wait until you step inside. 

The cedar feature wall in the entryway brings the outside in and illustrates the level of detail you can expect to find through the rest of this four-bedroom, two-bathroom home. You’ll find an entertainer’s kitchen that is both beautiful and family friendly – stone benchtops, a large scullery, quality appliances and loads of storage. 

The spacious main living area, the heart of the home, has a higher-than-usual stud height and opens to the sun-drenched outdoor living area. Bathrooms, in sophisticated black and grey, have stylish black tapware, feature lighting and underfloor heating for when the weather is chilly. 

With a carpeted double garage, a large separate laundry and a second living space, this home, designed with the modern family in mind, is easy to love.
