GOLD - NEW HOME - $1 MILLION - $1.5 MILLION

Owners, Nathan and Lana Carter have what the 2021 RMB House of the Year judges have described as a “serious, spacious and eye-catching two-storey family home”.

"Beautiful views of the Hakarimata Range, three living spaces which enhance indoor-outdoor living and a split-level pool, are some of the striking features which make us proud to have built a home together with Nathan and Lana, for a life they love!"

Five bedrooms, three bathrooms and three living spaces add up to a spacious and eye-catching two-storey family home.

Everything you could possibly want for modern family living can be found in this home, which is complete with the owner’s style: in-wall surround speakers, polished concrete floors, underfloor heating and solar panels.

Top billing goes to the kitchen. The waterfall island bench, timber bulkhead with light fixtures, tiles on the island and splashback, and dark cabinetry create impeccable flair.

"It’s humbling to be continually recognised by the industry and our peers for our workmanship, quality, style and attention to detail. At Urban Homes we treat every home we build as an award-winning masterpiece, whether it’s an architecturally inspired custom design, or a modest build from a pre-designed floorplan."
