This Macquarie home blends mid-century influences with contemporary luxury

The mark of a beautifully designed home is often in the little details, and this Macquarie house has plenty of them.

The architectural four-bedroom home makes a striking first impression with blackbutt timber cladding, clean lines and a dramatic circular opening above the front entry.

Inside, engineered American oak floors, soaring square-set ceilings and custom joinery continue the considered approach, while timber and soft neutral tones give the contemporary interiors plenty of warmth.

Pale brickwork flows from outside in, reappearing through the entrance, main living spaces and even the main bedroom.

The open-plan kitchen, living and dining area anchors the floor plan. The kitchen pairs extensive timber cabinetry with Taj Mahal stone, a large island, Smeg appliances, an integrated fridge and a butler’s pantry.

A bespoke rangehood is almost an artwork in itself.

The living spaces connect to two private outdoor areas, with professionally landscaped gardens surrounding the home.

On one side, a heated mineral-water pool and outdoor shower add a little resort-style luxury.

There’s also a separate multipurpose room, while the main bedroom is privately segregated and features a walk-through wardrobe and an en suite with in-floor heating.

The luxurious main bathroom includes a free-standing bathtub, floor-to-ceiling tiling and a stone-topped black timber vanity.

And the details continue behind the scenes: electric blinds and sheer curtains disappear into ceiling pelmets, while a whole-house water filtration system, double glazing and an EV charger in the garage add to the home’s practicality.
