Elderslie

Excerpt from HIA Magazine.

As the property is nestled in the heart of a heritage area, strict design requirements were in place to ensure that the new, custom-built home complemented the surrounding properties and established streetscape.

Upon arrival, you are greeted by sandstone pillars that lead you down a long, gated driveway to the masterpiece that awaits. This is a home that makes a stunning first impression. From the brass detailing on the light fittings and door handles to the light grey Weathertex cladding and galvanised roof, the exterior of the home is a design triumph.

Of course the magic continues inside. When you step through the front door you are met with a beautiful pendant light display and a large open-plan living area.

The interior spaces offer traditional design features along with 21st century conveniences, such as smart home technology and integrated kitchen appliances.  

Contributing to the classic look, the kitchen boasts blue Shaker-style cabinets teamed with gold tapware. For thematic consistency, the same blue cabinets are continued in the master bedroom and upstairs loft.

The ensuite, which is bathed in natural light thanks to a Velux skylight, also features gold tapware. These fittings are set against the grey fishtail tiles in the shower niche and the contrast works beautifully. Another standout feature of the ensuite is the patterned-tile floor.

The bottom line? Belle Lifestyle Homes, working to a design by Straightline Studio Co, has created a home of great beauty where every detail has been expertly executed and every opportunity maximised.
