When a craftsman builds his own personal project, the difference is in the detail. Created by Lonsdale Builders, this just-completed home brings together striking architecture, carefully selected materials and thoughtful features that make everyday living better. From the custom cabinetry to the acoustic insulation, the care extends well beyond what you first see.
A bold façade pairs Colorbond interlock architectural cladding with custom window shrouds, giving the home a distinctive presence. Australian-made, slim-profile double glazing brings natural light into beautifully finished interiors, where oak flooring, wool loop-pile carpets, architectural downlights and a sculptural open-tread staircase create a warm, refined setting.
Designed to adapt as family needs change, the versatile floorplan offers up to four bedrooms, up to three living zones and three bathrooms. Downstairs, a generous multipurpose room provides the flexibility of an additional living space or fourth bedroom, conveniently serviced by a ground-floor bathroom. Open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas extend to an entertaining area finished with ModWood Xtreme decking, while an upstairs retreat provides another space to spread out.
At the centre of the home, the kitchen combines custom Polytec cabinetry with Lava Stone Grey Mist stone, carried throughout for a cohesive finish. A full suite of Bosch appliances includes dual ovens, a 90cm Series 8 induction cooktop, dishwasher and dual fridges. An appliance cubby and pantry keep everyday essentials conveniently accessible and neatly out of sight.
Beneath a soaring cathedral ceiling, the main bedroom offers a private retreat with fully fitted robes and a beautifully appointed ensuite. In the fully tiled upstairs bathrooms, feature VELUX skylights positioned directly above the showers create a striking connection to the sky, while oversized custom shaving cabinets provide generous concealed storage. Thoughtfully integrated cabinetry and abundant storage continue throughout the home.
Individually zoned Daikin climate control delivers comfort throughout, complemented by three-phase power and provision for future solar installation. A garage with a separate storage room, 6,000 litres of rainwater storage connected to the toilets, and a full-height rear dividing wall with acoustic insulation demonstrate the same considered approach to function, comfort and construction.
In the Coatesville Primary School zone, close to local cafés, shops, St Peter’s Primary School and St Bede’s College, this is a compelling opportunity to secure a builder’s personal project—and appreciate the care that has gone into every part of it.
