All four homes have been developed with future proofing in mind with level entry on ground level and lifts to the upper floor in the two-storey homes. “We are very mindful of future uses and that the people we’re building for might not be the permanent owners. Future proofing for us also means that we include solar power as standard, insulate well above code and put in electric power charging for EVs. We’ve been doing that for years.” The first of the four homes, now completed on Wroxton Tce, is currently listed with Harcourts Gold (Property ID #P179564). This fabulous four-bedroom, three-bathroom home with triple car garaging, extra parking space and a lift for easy accessibility has a north-facing aspect and seamless flow from spacious open plan living and dining to the wraparound garden and al fresco entertaining area. The chic gourmet kitchen, which includes a well-appointed scullery with wine fridge, was designed by multi award winning kitchen designer Kirsty Davis. It’s an entertainer’s paradise. The luxurious main bedroom with pitched ceiling has an oversized walk-in robe and tiled ensuite with double vanity, twin shower and standalone bath. Two bedrooms shared a luxe tiled bathroom and a fourth bedroom has its own ensuite. “It’s a perfect home for contemporary family living. It’s secure, well fenced and fully landscaped.” The second two-storey home, built to the same enticing standard, is due to be completed towards the end of July 2023, followed by construction of the two single-storey homes. All are fully consented. While intensification to fit eight townhouses on the land could have been considered, Pete says that was never something they contemplated for this special location. Instead, all sections are generously sized at 540 sqm or more. A hallmark of these homes is consistency and quality of finish. That includes quality appliances, quality kitchen designs and impeccable detailing from plumbing, hardware and joinery fittings to feature walls and ceilings. The latest finishes have been selected, inside and out, such as exterior aluminium paneling combined with specialised concrete finished panels to ensure the homes not only look good but will be easy to maintain. “We like to include details like whole house water filters to remove chlorine from the water. You could walk through and miss it but it’s this kind of detail that makes homes like these a joy to live in. We make everything easy to use - it’s got to be practical and functional for the end user. There are so many other details that we have included such as security systems and keyless entry, in-slab heating, ducted heat pump systems and gas fire, insulated foundations and garages, thermally broken aluminium windows with low E glass and insulated interior doors that all contribute to making a magnificent home.” Elsewhere in the city, Home Trends Builders’ next new project is a quality duplex development on Cox Street in Merivale.
