If there is any street noise outside Celebration Homes’ Allure, you can be sure it will be virtually inaudible in the main suite.
In the increasingly popular new design trend of putting the main bedroom at the rear, the Allure, on display as a narrow lot home at Aveley’s Vale precinct, puts a healthy distance between the helter-skelter of daily living and the welcome
sanctuary of a parents’ retreat that has a sliding door to the garden, opening up secondary access to the alfresco area.
The 15sqm allocated to the rear bedroom is almost doubled when you add on the broad walk-in robe and the capacious ensuite, featuring twin vitreous china basins in postformed vanity tops, separate enclosed toilet and 2m tiling to the shower.
"Our design team sought to bring together an optimum balance of family living, private retreats and entertaining areas," said Celebration Homes’ sales manager Stuart Jeffs.
"The Allure offers homeowners a unique and contemporary layout with plenty of style and comfort to encourage a relaxing lifestyle."
According to Mr Jeffs, its popularity also derives from the way the free-flowing layout and 15m size is adapted to today’s smaller blocks.
Marketed to appeal to both first and second-homebuyers, the Allure brings a refreshing level of sophistication to its 186sqm living area.
A slight rise in the display block at Aveley flatters the elevation, allowing its rendered facade, feature piers, double entry doors, planter boxes and Colorbond roof to be fully appreciated.
Where the broad entry hall doglegs by the double garage, the floor plan opens to the secondary bedrooms, all double sized, averaging more than 12sqm and fitted with hinged built-in robes.
Two of them have floor-to- ceiling windows to admit plenty of natural light.
An up-market touch is evident in the side walk-in kitchen, which gets a lift from its CaesarStone benchtops.
Buyers have the option to change the 16sqm alfresco area into a games room at no extra cost.
