This Ohauiti house sets the
scene for harmonious family
living and easy entertaining.
The home took out the Silver
Award in the Placemakers –
New Home $400,000-$500,000
category.
Sitting serenely on a sloping site, the Ohauiti house sets
the scene for relaxed family
living and easy entertaining.
Linea weatherboards lend
this modern-functioning home
a traditional feel, while feature
stonework adds interest to the
slate-coloured exterior. The large
garage is another bonus.
The master bedroom and
open-plan living space face
north, maximising natural light
and warmth. The 276m2 home
is snug in winter, while plenty
of windows bring natural cross
ventilation over summer.
The main living space is
the centre of family life and
opens via huge glass sliders to
the spacious portico. A formal
lounge is a great addition.
The extra high ceiling is a
star, rising to 4m in the internal
area where the kitchen, with
its walk-in pantry, is a social
focus. There are four bedrooms
and two well-designed bathrooms, including an ensuite off
the master bedroom. The latter
also has a walk-in wardrobe
and access to alfresco living.
Top: Grey Linea weatherboard and
stone accent elements give this
home a traditional feel, despite its
modern functionality on the inside.
The residence won the Silver Award
in the Placemakers – New Home
$400,000-$500,000 category.

entertaining spaces and large
windows and sliders mean the home
is warm and inviting year round.
