With an eye to easy minimalism – custom joinery through-out, warm timber flooring, white on white and restrained artful touches – the raymond.home exudes an effortless cool and relaxed atmosphere. Boasting optimal solar orientation, a stripped-back, natural flow and beautiful proportions, raymond.home, has a big heart.
Located on a quiet, tree-lined street in the coveted village of Ainslie, the home is set-back from the road, sheltered and submerged in lush gardens. An open, paved dining area, feels personal, yet also connected to neighbourhood. The façade with its flat and low-pitched gable roofs, and combo of textures and colours, has a clean, modernist appeal. As you step through the bright red door (welcome in Feng Shui) you enter a foyer, a small pause, before the celebration of the open living, dining, kitchen.
With expansive glazing to maximise the north-east aspect, this palatial space, aids ventilation, passive heating, cooling and light. Very much the heart of the home – generous, lofty, opening to deck and landscape – this central interior space allows for flexible family interaction and entertaining. And it is spectacular in the mornings as the sun floods in.
The kitchen is fully modernised, with feature cabinetry and a gorgeous, avocado green splashback. Robust and family friendly, with plenty of storage and bench space, the kitchen is highly practical and primed for entertaining.
The simple and clever floorplan, with segregated sleeping zones is perfect for family life - flexibility, room to grow, perfect for right now.
The children's area consists of a couplet of charming bedrooms with tranquil outlooks, centred around a study which could easily be re-purposed as a playroom.
The master bedroom spans the width of the house and connects to the renovated family bathroom. With private, garden aspect, this is a serene and sequestered, parents retreat.
The covered deck, with pitched roof, to maximise sunlight, overlooks easy lawns. This outdoor area is perfect for long morning brunches or relaxed evening gatherings with family and friends. An abundance of established plantings creates a feeling of enclosure, and culinary herbs/vegetables can be tended in dedicated beds. The handsome free-standing detailed shed mirrors the pitched roof of the house, and with sliding glass doors opening to garden, it could easily be utilised as studio space.
