Borough in Rolleston.
This 222sqm four bedroom showhome
possesses all the prerequisites of a new
home in an affordable price range, making it
suitable for families through to couples and
individuals.
Effect is gained with a 2.7 metre high stud
and coved ceilings throughout the wellappointed
living area. Double doors open
from a comfortable lounge to the family
room where a wall creates a personalised
dining, within the open plan living area. A
study nook is tucked in on the other side
of the living room. Sliders lead out from
the living, dining and master bedrooms to
patios for easy access to the outdoors.
A walk-in pantry, engineered stone bench
tops, Bosch oven, cook top, dishwasher, 900
canopy range hood and tiled splashback, are
all features incorporated into the kitchen.
The master bedroom has two walk-in
robes. There is a walk-in tiled shower,
double wall hung vanity, heated towel rail,
heater and a toilet in the ensuite.
Serving the smaller bedrooms, the main bathroom
has a wall hung vanity, fitted bath, full one metre square
shower, heated towel rail and a heater. The separate toilet
also has a small hand basin with mirror so visitors do not
need to use the main bathroom.
There is loads of storage in this house, in the coat
cupboard conveniently located at the front door, hall
cupboard, double robes in the smaller bedrooms, and
double garage where there is a 4,800 metre wide door.
The home is heated by a heat pump in the living area
and wall heater in the hallway. However, when building
with Whitestone Builders, clients are able to choose the
type of heating they want as well as where this is to be
located within their home.
Clad in brick veneer with double glazed aluminium
joinery, a Colorsteel corrugated roof and exposed
aggregate concrete driveway, this home sits well on its
718sqm section.
The price to build this showhome is $382,000 with
Whitehouse Builders Ltd offering house and land
packages (based on this house design), starting at
$585,000. This figure includes a section priced at
$190,000. With a finished independent valuation at
around $645,000, this represents good value for the buyer.

Borough is located at 52 Lanner Drive in Rolleston. It is
open for viewing Wednesdays to Sundays, 12noon until
4pm, or for viewing by appointment.
