Coast and Country pick of the week

12 Leland Street, Blairgowrie
$1.4 million-$1.5 million
​5 bedrooms 3 bathrooms 4 car spaces

A short walk from Blairgowrie beach and shops, this near-new house has a bright blue panelled facade that presents a good face to the street. Inside, there are four bedrooms, two with en suites, near the front of the house. The main open-plan kitchen/living and dining room is towards the back of the house and opens to a deck. The kitchen is smart with a glossy red splashback, breakfast bar and plenty of storage. An open fire warms the sitting area – but so does the double-height wall of glass that is a feature of this room. The multi-level decking eventually leads to the lap pool which is also overlooked by an informal living area, which has a pool near the bar. This interesting room has a feature wall with black-defined rectangles, some filled with vivid colours. Next door is what is dubbed the fifth bedroom – and it’s certainly suitable as another spot for guests – but it could also be used as another seating area.
