Resting on the corner, set beside leafy canopies, the macleay.home is part of a rare low-lying development in the heart of the city. The simple, white rendered form sits elegantly behind established hedging as steps usher to a long verandah, sheltered by the upstairs curved balcony. There is a large beautifully planted patio that takes in views to the stately pines of Haig Park, and it is an easy stroll to Turner Parklands and the CBD.

This beautiful three-bedroom home plus exceptional basement Space, is light and bright with a gorgeous natural materiality and wonderful flow to outdoors. Within, the sweeping living, dining, kitchen takes in aspects from two sides. Rich hardwood timber floors add a honeyed organic warmth to the crisp white palette. This is an expansive space with living area drifting north to the terrace. In the southern corner sits a wonderfully bright kitchen, open to a dining space with western aspect. Pops of timber and stone benchtops add a natural quality as plenty of white cabinetry ensures there is a place for everything. Glass doors can be flung open allowing cross breezes and soft afternoon light to flood this wonderfully communal space.

Floating timber floors lead upstairs, where three peaceable bedrooms frame elevated views out to treetops, blue sky. There is a central social area, perfect for home office or cosy living room. While to one side a beautiful family bathroom invites with soft neutral tones, warm timber vanity. All bedrooms have excellent storage with the master bedroom enjoying a walk-in-robe and ensuite bathroom. This serene parental retreat opens to a sweet balcony, an ideal spot for a quiet glass away from the bustle.
