Lot 28: The Oscar @ Habitat Estate - Mount Kynoch

A refined residence, The Teak merges mid-century modern aesthetics with contemporary functionality. The exterior prominence is defined through use of decorative breeze blocks, that not only serve as architectural elements, but facilitate ventilation and light filtration. Revolving around a central living hub, encompassing kitchen, dining, and main living area, this vast space seamlessly flows outwards. Allowing the outside to peer in, from a privately positioned alfresco area. All of which add to the expanse. Functionality is also enhanced in the Kitchen through a thoughtfully isolated breakfast bar, and hidden walk-in pantry. Secluded from the rest of the home, a master suite is privately positioned, far away from the three additional bedrooms, paired with a dedicated kids’ retreat. Modern yet post-war, peaked roof prominence is personified here. Thoughtful material selection and vast glass paneling transport one to a time long gone, but a time that’s sure to flourish again.

The Gaspar has a narrative. It’s a dialogue between dramatic roof angles and entry piers with grounding presence. But it’s beyond the facade that architectural intelligence is revealed. It’s the distinctly modern take on zonal living - an upstairs-downstairs configuration that Victorian homes aspired to, but rarely achieved. Rather than simply creating an open plan space, the ground floor approach is more nuanced. The kitchen opens to living and dining, that in turn spills out to the alfresco, creating indoor-outdoor connection that’s crucial in our climate. Considered separation of communal and private spaces is evident here too, with the guest suite offering genuine privacy. But it’s upstairs where The Gaspar comes alive. The master suite, positioned at the rear, isn’t just a bedroom - it’s a proper parents’ retreat, complete with private balcony and freestanding bath. The three remaining upstairs bedrooms don’t miss out either, nestled around a large communal space, and one room with a balcony of its own. Attention to the human experience of living is prominent here, rather than just the metric of square meters. Its this logic that elevates The Gaspar beyond functional build, to something artful.

With plenty of storage room, a double garage and cleverly designed spaces to maximise functionality, the Escarpment 325 split level home design is perfect for growing families. Upon entering the home you will find a bedroom, bathroom and media room, plus the kitchen, family and dining areas, which open out to the alfresco. The kitchen features a spacious walk in pantry that’s accessible via the garage, making unloading of groceries an easy task. A spacious master bedroom complete with ensuite and walk-in robe also opens up to the generous alfresco which spans the entire width of the home. Here you can opt to install a BBQ as the decking area is big enough for an entertainment unit as well as a lounge area. A child’s retreat can be found on the lower floor alongside another two bedrooms plus a third bathroom and laundry. Relax on the impressive patio flowing off the child’s retreat. Available in a variety of stunning façades, these two, three and four bedroom home designs contain all the necessities of modern family living and are packed with Stroud’s huge range of inclusions.
