With plenty of surprises in store, 18 Laurel Martyn View in Whitlam is a four-bedroom, four-bathroom home perfectly designed for a family looking for a place to grow.

Often a home built for a family doesn’t take into account the actual demands of communal living. This property doesn’t make that mistake with a design and layout that accommodates the reality of living with family or guests.

“The property was designed for a family to each have their own bathroom and for the master, kids or guests to have their own space,” Altair Property Group agent Rahul Mehta says.

“When you look at the layout, you see none of the bedrooms share walls. It was very thoughtfully designed so a family can live together without stepping on each other’s toes.”

Each bedroom has an ensuite, while the two main bedrooms also boast a walk-in wardrobe. There are also three living spaces – a front lounge, a rumpus in the centre of the home and an open kitchen and dining area.

The kitchen is a dream with enough amenities and inclusions to satisfy the home’s significant entertaining potential. With premium Miele appliances, it features a walk-in pantry and breakfast bar.

“This is probably one of the biggest kitchens you’ll see in a new suburb. It’s a very special space and it serves the entertaining aspect of the home well,” Rahul says.

The home is great for guests, parents or kids who want their space. But it also doubles as an entertaining powerhouse.

“The kitchen, living and dining area is already large but there’s more. The home has a covered alfresco area with an outdoor kitchen,” Rahul says.

“But where the home really amazes is with the integration of the indoor and outdoor space. There are four huge bi-fold doors on all sides of the alfresco area that open up and essentially create one massive open living area.”

This stunning structural integration of the living and alfresco space makes the entire home far more flexible, meaning parties or dinners can become that much more open. The lucky next owner can also take advantage of the living spaces’ northerly aspect.

Light is a big part of any space and the builders put great focus on large windows on the northern side to bring in the sunshine.

“The investment in the windows is significant. They add a lot to the home and they’re also thermally broken, making the home far more energy efficient,” Rahul says.

Built to satisfy a modern family’s needs, the property is stacked with features that make day-to-day life easy. With a separate laundry, custom-built robes in the bedrooms, a water purification system, built-in cameras and temperature control in each room, the home is wanting for nothing.

“The inclusions and quality are hard to overstate. Details like the soft-close cabinetry, custom joinery and low-maintenance gardens all go a long way,” Rahul says.

This property is more than just a home, it’s a chance to get a foothold in an up-and-coming suburb with great access to the city.

“Whitlam is a great suburb that’s picking up a lot of momentum. It’s a lot closer to the city, at just a 10-minute drive, than many of the other newer suburbs,” Rahul says.

Cleverly built with top-of-the-line inclusions and excellent quality of life features in one of Canberra’s rising suburbs, this property set out to do family living differently and passes with flying colours.
