Topping my list of Things I Find Completely Satisfying are homes that perfectly utilise the space they’ve been given. No 3/15 Hope Street is one of the best demonstrations of this that I’ve seen in a long time.

Making use of every ounce of space possible, while still offering an open, airy and homely feel, is a fine architectural art form, and boy does this home put on a show.

A study nook and rumpus room tucked into the landing upstairs, a powder room under the stairs, extra storage cupboards, an oversized hidden European-style laundry, a walk-in wardrobe in the main bedroom. It’s all there in a townhouse built with house-sized comfort in mind.

Newly built by Bond Projects and Imagine Building Concepts the home calls for calm. There’s no need to fill this home with clutter. It would be an injustice to its methodical design.

This order continues outside with landscaped manicured gardens and an entertaining area already equipped with everything you need to put on a spectacular gathering. Because you’ll want to be showing this home off to everyone you know.

If you like the idea of an as-new home with an impressive list of features and positioned on a quiet street opposite parkland, then this could be the light at the end of your property search.

The welcoming entry-gallery area is sure to impress thanks to the double-height ceiling and feature pendant light. It quickly becomes apparent that you’re inspecting something special.

Designed with modern tastes in mind, the living and dining space features a collection of large skylights, flooding the area in natural light.

From here, you’re compelled to step outside through sliding doors onto the covered outdoor entertaining area, ideal for lazy weekends and alfresco meals.

The kitchen is beautifully finished with soft closing cabinets and drawers, stone benchtops, a walk-in pantry, a large breakfast bar and quality Fisher & Paykel appliances. Upstairs, there’s also a generous study nook overlooking the park.
