Light and bright epitomises this striking house in Duffy.

The two-level residence at the picturesque edge of Weston Creek features crisp interiors and quality materials throughout.

The house was built by Classic Constructions in 2007 with a design that maximises space and natural light.

A grand porch opens onto the foyer, leading to the home’s heart: an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area.

This shared space features high, raked ceilings and expanses of glass.

The galley kitchen is equipped with a long island bench and breakfast bar, Caeserstone benches, a walk-in pantry and stainless steel appliances.

A small set of stairs leads to a formal dining and living area with polished timber floors. It spills onto a covered deck with sweeping views across the region.

The master suite is situated at the front of the house, encompassing a spacious bedroom that opens onto a Japanese-style courtyard. The main bedroom also connects to a walk-in wardrobe and an en suite with a spa bath, large vanity and toilet.

Another two bedrooms with built-in robes are found on the main floor, serviced by a main bathroom complete with a built-in bath, shower and separate powder room and toilet.

The property’s lower level includes a spacious rumpus room opening onto a large, covered alfresco area overlooking the landscaped backyard with easy-care gardens and citrus trees.

This floor also features a fourth bedroom and an en suite – perfect for guests, teens or a home office.

The property also features a laundry and a double garage with internal access.

Solar panels, insulation, in-slab heating in the tiled living rooms and wet areas, reverse-cycle heating and cooling on the main floor and Rinnai instantaneous hot water ensure year-round comfort.

We love: Fresh, modern living is on offer in a lovely pocket of the nation’s capital.
