Home of the Week: Country charm in Chapman

The home at 1 Banvard Place in Chapman is a true suburban oasis. It’s a place you’ll never want to leave, and sometimes, you won’t have to.

The floor plan is clever, and the interiors are stunning, emanating a charming, almost “country estate”, vibe.

This is elevated through light-filled spaces and beautiful fixtures such as feature lighting, plantation shutters and custom joinery.

On weekdays, tackle working from home in one of the various living areas.

Opt to convert one of the four bedrooms to a home office or perhaps the formal dining room, which sits between the family and living room. This also makes for a practical kid’s playroom as both noise and mess can be shut away between the French doors on either side of the room.

When it’s time to relax, you’re spoilt for choice. Cosy up to the fireplace with a cup of tea and a good read. In summer, soak up the ambience – and the stunning sunsets Chapman has to offer – poolside with a crisp glass of riesling.

On the weekend, this home calls for entertaining – a day of family fun in the pool, followed by a twilight dinner on the deck.

Preparing for this is easy with a gourmet kitchen and a living area, which opens the house up to the outdoors.

Central heating and a new evaporative cooling system will keep you comfortable year-round, while new solar panels ensure this can be done as cost-effectively as possible.

Located high in Weston Creek, Chapman boasts beautiful vistas and even more epic sunsets. Cooleman Court is an easy walk or short drive away, as is an abundance of great public and private schools.
