Space for all in Vermont
West Australian
Saturday 20th May 2006
A combination of render and slim bricks brings clean lines to the facade of The Vermont, creating a simple first impression.
In the Belvedere Hills estate on Wyatt Road, Hocking, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom home from Metrostyle is all about spaciousness and versatility of family living space.
The Vermont's efficient use of space allows for a house that has a wide variety of rooms without compromising on size.
An office is located at the front ensuring that visitors to those who work from home will not disturb the family's privacy.
The home theatre, also at the front, has no windows on the outside, allowing complete control of lighting for an authentic cinema experience.
The front zone is completed by a luxurious main suite.
Flooded with natural lighting from a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, the bedroom is particularly spacious and has plenty of room for a sitting area.
A modern open-style ensuite, with walled-off toilet, features his-and-her basins, a big vanity and plenty of storage space.
The main suite also has a big walk-in robe and dressing room.
While some homes offer big main suites but cramped minor bedrooms, this is not the case with The Vermont.
The three other bedrooms, all spacious, have built-in robes and enough room for a desk, making them ideal for children of all ages.
They are also conveniently positioned near the main bathroom and laundry.
The bathroom is simple and stylish, with a big shower recess and a bath. Like the ensuite, it has plenty of storage space.
Opposite the laundry is a linen cupboard big enough to cater for the requirements of a four-bedroom residence. The main living area integrates seamlessly with the outdoor entertaining area, games room, meals area and kitchen.
The kitchen is well laid-out and designed to be user-friendly, with plenty of benchtop space, cupboards and pot drawers.
It also has contemporary stainless steel appliances and a recess for a dishwasher.
Sleek, stone-coloured floor tiles run throughout the kitchen, meals area and living space.
Two walls of floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors leading to the alfresco area keep the combined space bright and airy.
A big games room at the back is the ideal place for a pool table and mini bar.
Alternatively, the recess that runs along one wall could help turn this room into a library and study.
The paved alfresco area is under the main roof, and those who enjoy entertaining will appreciate its proximity to the kitchen.
