For too long we’ve been led to believe that family living in style is impossible. But that’s certainly not the case. Especially not with homes like the one at 36 Cazneaux Crescent.

It’s a sleek and contemporary custom-built home with a functional floor plan that allows for diverse lifestyles to live harmoniously under one roof.

The beating heart is the central open-plan kitchen living and dining area where the herringbone parquetry flooring is elevated by a stunning dual-tone kitchen of dark stone timber benchtops and light cabinetry. 

Your eyes are drawn upwards by overhanging feature lights, and land on the timber panelled, vaulted ceiling. Lined with windows, it allows for even more light to stream through this already airy space. 

The rumpus room adjoins this zone but can be closed off via glass sliding doors so that multiple activities for multiple children can run at the same time. 

With the kids taken care of in the living areas, you can escape to the study to get some work done. Or better yet, head to the segregated main bedroom, en suite and walk-in wardrobe for a little tranquillity while taking in the stunning views. 

Price guide: $1.45 million+

This house offers the best of both worlds. Just imagine yourself in the formal lounge and dining room, cosying up by the fireplace.

Need more space? Move to the sunken outdoor area and light up the fireplace for all to enjoy.

With spring, then summer to come, the 18-metre pool will be the highlight many will envy.
