As good as new

A glossy red front door provides a bold welcome to this one-year-old house in Arnolds Creek estate, while the chocolate brick, deep-mocha render and timber-look exterior combination delivers kerbside appeal.

The floor plan doesn’t deviate from today’s standard template so, while there are no surprises, the house nevertheless exudes streamlined comfort and polished presentation.

The tiled entry hallway (with garage access) has the main bedroom through double doors to the right. Here, an island wall conceals clothes storage space and the ensuite has an extra-big shower and dual basin vanity unit.

Three more bedrooms with built-in wardrobes are down a hallway from the living area.

Nearby, there’s the laundry — with another red external door adding cheer to wash-days — a separate toilet, and bathroom with charcoal and white decor and a trendy extra-wide vanity basin.

The living hub of a tiled family-meals area and a carpeted rumpus room is spacious and light-filled.

A mocha-toned, sponged feature wall accents white elsewhere and soft-charcoal roller blinds (appearing throughout) keep it pleasingly simple.

A Caesarstone-topped island bench demarcates the kitchen where a walk-in pantry, Arda dishwasher, Euro 900mm gas cooker and canopy range hood set up the family cook in style.

Accessed from the family room, an integrated alfresco area has concrete paving that extends out to fill the side yard behind the garage.

Gently sloping, the grassed backyard awaits an imaginative gardener and, over the back fence, there’s a walking track leading to a reserve.

The Melton Community and Children’s Centre with kindergarten, maternal health facility and tennis and basketball courts is a walk away.
