New homes in sought-after, established suburbs are an impeccable combination. But when it’s a builder’s own home, the blend is simply unmatched and one can rest easy knowing everything was built to the highest of standards. 

This is what awaits you at 11 Scottsdale Street. With a design grounded in the principles of space, style and innovation, it offers a sophisticated, yet playful backdrop for all of life’s memorable moments.

Impressive before you even walk through the oversized pivot front door, what awaits inside is striking high void ceilings, blackbutt hardwood timber floors and artistic feature strip lighting.

As you make your way through the home, you’ll uncover an array of surprises. Some of these are visible to the eye, including custom joinery, a window splashback and stone benchtops in the kitchen, a walk-in linen cupboard and a studio in the backyard. 

Others are harder to find, like the ducted reverse-cycle underfloor heating and cooling, and Soundchek[OK] Gyprock with acoustic-rated insulation.

Peace and quiet can be found at the front of the home in the separate north-facing living area. The back is made for entertaining with a kitchen and informal living flowing out to an elevated covered deck.

Price guide: $2.095 million
