If you’re looking for a modern, low-maintenance home in a central location, this property in growing Coombs could be for you.

The north-facing, open-plan living and dining area is the house’s central hub, characterised by an angled ceiling. The height of the ceiling and neutral interiors enhance the area’s spaciousness.

The design takes advantage of the extra height afforded by the ceiling’s slope with extra windows, flooding the area with extra natural light.

The nearby kitchen complements the neutral palette with light stone benchtops and cabinetry. It features stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, soft-close doors and a walk-in pantry, and leads into the laundry.

Behind the open plan living area is a separate theatre that could be used as a formal lounge or rumpus room.

The room is fitted with soundproof insulation, while the present owner is happy to include the amplifiers, speakers, projector and Xbox in the sale.

Both living areas open onto a covered alfresco area, surrounded by three walls. The space features cedar ceilings and a built-in kitchen with stone benchtops, a sink and a dishwasher.

The low-maintance yard has been filled in and includes raised garden beds and a water tank.

Inside, the master suite is segregated at the front of the home and includes a walk-through wardrobe leading to the en suite.

This bathroom includes a central double vanity unit, with a toilet hidden behind one side and a glassless shower around the other, plus a built-in bath.

The remaining bedrooms include built-in mirrored wardrobes and are at the opposite end of the house. One is slightly segregated from the other two and could be used as a study.

The main bathroom also includes a built-in bath and a seamless glass shower, next to a separate toilet.

Included are ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning, Foxtel, solar hot water and a double garage with built-in storage.

Room for improvement: Garden lovers might want to add some extra greenery and take advantage of the raised beds.
