Display Home: Provincial Fairlight 28

THERE are key lifestyle factors to consider when looking for a display home, such as how you would use the various living spaces. The layout of the home is crucial as it can determine whether it would suit your particular family situation.

The potential for more children might be a factor for some families, while for others it might be time to downsize from a two-storey home to a design without stairs.

With a mix of living areas and a thoughtful floorplan, the Fairlight by Provincial Homes is a design that would tick a lot of boxes, particularly for second and third home buyers.

From the moment you enter the front door and step into the wide entry hall, the four-bedroom home has that sought-after feeling
of spaciousness.

The house has been cleverly designed with different zones to provide more flexibility and create flow within the space, and is on display at Homeworld Kellyville with the Essential facade, one of 11 available.

LIVING

On leaving the entry hall, the separate lounge room is on the left. It’s presented with an open format to the hallway but, depending on need, it could be changed to create a home theatre.

Also in this section of the home is a study centre with space for two chairs and a desk.

Parents will appreciate that the study is close enough to the kitchen to allow homework supervision while dinner is prepared.

The home has a mix of living areas and a thoughtful floorplan.

The combined kitchen, meals area and family room opens on to a timber deck and alfresco space.

A combined kitchen, meals area and family room sits at the rear of the house, with windows positioned to the rear and side.

An ideal space for family living, this room has doors that open to an alfresco area, creating an inviting spot for entertaining.

With its open-plan layout, this zone of the house is sure to be the hub for family activity.

WHAT THE BUYER SAID

Kim Lloyd says she visited HomeWorld Kellyville a number of times and pored over floorplans before choosing Provincial Homes to build her house on Sydney’s lower north shore.

She was looking to knock down and rebuild but her block wasn’t a standard rectangular shape and there was an existing swimming pool.

Kim chose the two-storey Waverley design, with customised changes including a large entertaining and alfresco area at the rear and a rearrangement of the upper storey layout.

“I liked Provincial’s designs and their finishes,” she says. “I did have to customise the house but they were more than accommodating.”

Kim Lloyd has just moved into her new home.
