Carpenter's timber talents on show in clever Casey home

It’s no surprise that this beautifully crafted house in Casey is a carpenter’s own home; the attention to detail and the warm timber details throughout offer a point of difference and conceal hidden storage compartments.

Jackson and Amber Roberts built the home and have lived here for six years. They welcomed their first child, Archer, 18 months ago and have another baby on the way.

Jackson describes it as “the perfect block”, with a north-facing view of the reserve.

“Getting that winter sun and the view was our main concern,” Jackson says.

The galley kitchen features a walk-in pantry, while striking timber work above the island bench conceals plenty of extra storage space.

It overlooks the open-plan living area with polished hardwood floors and a seamless flow to the deck, which is Jackson’s favourite part of the home.

“It’s now sheltered and covered in an ornamental grape vine. The maple trees are now big and developed; it’s just a nice place to be.”

The lower level also provides a peaceful retreat with an infrared sauna, lush green wall and timber features.

As a carpenter, Jackson is in need of a new project – a knockdown-rebuild in O’Connor – but he says the family-friendly street will be hard to leave behind.

“Every single house is young families – lots of people in their 20s and 30s with two kids under 10,” he says.

“On the weekend you’ll see 20 kids playing outside on the street, which you don’t see very often these days.”
